2020 KS Senatorial race: on Homeland Security


Roger Marshall: Proudly supported a 20% increase in military funding

We must get our federal government back to its core functions--chief among them is national defense. Congressman Marshall proudly supported a 20% increase in military funding in order to fully fund Ft. Riley and the largest pay increase for our troops in 9 years. We must be certain the brave men and women protecting us have the tools and training they need to be successful on the battlefield, and the confidence that America will never renege on the promises made to them as veterans.

Dave Lindstrom: Military funding should be untouchable priority

America needs to make as an untouchable priority a fully funded, fully trained, fully equipped, and fully ready to deploy military. Given the relentless pace at which conflicts are brewing around the world, and more recently to our south, America cannot be caught with military depleted as a result of funding a multi-million dollar habitat for a prehistoric sea urchin, or funding rebates for windmills. A strong military shouldn't be a political issue. It's just commonsense.

Our military defense commitments do not end when our servicemen and women come home. We must also fulfill our promise to them with quality health care, support for those who struggle from the effects of war, and support for military families. We cannot deploy our men and women for months and years at a time and not be there to support them and their families when they return to American soil.

Barbara Bollier: Increase accountability of Veterans Administration

Barbara believes that we owe it to Kansas' nearly 180,000 veterans to demand proper delivery of the care and services they've earned. Keeping that promise means ensuring access to quality healthcare that puts the veteran first. It also means increasing accountability for the Veterans Administration, streamlining and modernizing the delivery of services and helping veterans receive the training and education they need to build strong careers once they've returned to civilian life.
