Daniel Gade: Stronger national defense: focus on growth of Navy

Gade supports the notion of congressional approval being needed for war actions or declarations. To create a stronger national defense, Gade suggests a focus on growth of the U.S. Navy. "The Navy is the one that is fully engaged at all times," Gade said. "The Army, Marine Corps and Air Force are a little less so. The Navy has responsibility for ensuring national commerce and keeping seas safe."

Scott Taylor: Protects military base access roads from sea-level rise

Rep. Scott Taylor has added language to a bill in Congress that will help allow military bases to access funds to lessen the effects of sea-level rise on access roads. "Some of our bases are vulnerable to that, as are other bases in coastal areas, so we need to be doing everything in our power that we can to be able to mitigate those problems and protect our installations," Taylor said.
