2019-20 GA special Senate race: on Homeland Security


Kelly Loeffler: Voted for Defense bill renaming bases honoring Confederates

Loeffler often mentions she has a 100% voting record with Trump. While this sounds great for Sen. Loeffler, it is not 100 percent true. What Loeffler would love GOP voters to forget, is that she went against President Trump and voted for NDAA [National Defense Authorization Act] legislation that would rename military bases named after Confederate generals. Trump was very vocal in his opposition to renaming the military bases.

Valencia Stovall: Increase defense spending with accountability

Q: Do you support increasing defense spending?

A: Yes. There should be accountability on the spending and the benefits to the American people for how their tax dollars are being spent.

Q: Do you support the protection of government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct?

A: No. I believe the lawsuits should go through the judicial process and should not be automatically exempted.

Allen Buckley: Reduce excessive foreign military bases

I would do everything I could to eliminate a lot of foreign military bases, and not all of them, but we don't need 800. The rest of the world combined has 30. We don't need 800. We could get rid of most of them; we'd be fine.
