2018 NV Governor's race: on Homeland Security


Brian Sandoval: Defy Trump's bad on transgendered people in military

This past weekend, a diverse crowd of nearly 300 from every corner of New Hampshire gathered together to fight for transgender equality and to oppose President Donald Trump's shameful decision to prevent transgender Americans from fighting in the military. Gov. Chris Sununu was not among the elected officials to attend.

Gov. Sununu recently came out against Trump's military ban, meaning he's okay with sending transgender citizens to fight to bring freedom to people around the world. Alternatively, Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada ordered the Nevada National Guard to deny Trump's policy. Sununu should do the right thing and follow his lead.

Dan Schwartz: We need a hard look at military spending to find excesses

Schwartz says he thinks the Republican Party has perhaps beatified the military to the point that it can't recognize its excesses. He points out U.S. military spending is several times more than the 2nd biggest-spender--China. He points out that there's $2-$3 trillion in unmet infrastructure needs. "Until this country takes a real hard look at what are the real needs--what do we need to defend ourselves. I think we're going to continue to spend money on things that we don't need," he said.
