2014 OR Senate debate: on Homeland Security


Jason Conger: Opposes reduction in size of America's military force

[Wehby and Conger] held their first head-to-head debate on the opening night of the Dorchester Conference, the annual issues conference for Republicans.

For the most part, both were quick to follow Republican orthodoxy. The two, for instance, both insisted that the Russians were emboldened to take the Crimean Peninsula because of the weakness of President Barack Obama's foreign policy. And each opposed the Obama administration's plans to reduce the size of America's military force.
