Paula Overby: Shift military spending to social and economic development

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Expand the military"?

A: Strongly oppose--We need to shift our military spending to social and economic development. The expanding conflict with China exemplifies that challenge. They are investing in economic strength while we are spending all of our resources on war. I don't see a military confrontation with China having any beneficial resolution.

Jim Newberger: Part of what makes our nation great is our military

Part of what make our nation great is our military. My father served in World War Two and I will forever be proud of that fact. America can only be great if America is strong. I support our military and our veterans. Keeping our military fully funded is foundational to making America great again!
