2020s senatorial press release: on Homeland Security


Nathan Dahm: Revitalize Oklahoma militia to protect its citizens

Dahm filed Senate Bill 1251 to revitalize the Oklahoma militia and provide greater protection for the citizens of Oklahoma. The bill states local guard units can be voluntarily funded and supplied, and that individuals may be required to use privately owned semi-automatic weapons if mustered into service. "State guards and militias have a rich history in our nation dating back to the Minutemen of times past," Dahm said. "They were necessary in 1776, and they are necessary today."

Tina Smith: Preserved funding for state-owned National Guard facilities

Senator Smith's bipartisan effort to fund military readiness and environmental conservation was signed into law. The Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) Program helps military facilities manage surrounding land to ensure community development does not impede military training. The Army considered reinterpreting the statute that defines a military installation to remove state-owned facilities, meaning that state-owned National Guard facilities would have been unable to receive REPI funding. Sen. Smith introduced a provision to ensure these facilities continue to receive this support as part of a larger bipartisan defense bill.

Hoosiers deserve to be represented by a senator committed to keeping our military strong, taking care of our veterans and all military families, building a strong economy and creating good paying jobs, Carmichael said.
