2022 CA Senate race: on Homeland Security


Alex Padilla: Maintain San Diego's Marine Corps Recruit Depot

[On military bases]: "California has a long and rich military history with the Marine Corps that dates back nearly a century," said Senator Alex Padilla. "Each year, San Diego's Marine Corps Recruit Depot prepares over 18,000 Marines to serve our nation in uniform. It would be a great disservice, not only to our Marines, but to the security of our country, to close this training camp that trains and develops all recruits west of the Mississippi. I am proud to join this important legislation to keep this critical training center in San Diego open."

The San Diego Military Advisory Council, an organization that advocates for the San Diego military community, expressed its strong support for the legislation: "SDMAC strongly supports the Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego Protection Act. While SDMAC also supports the ability of our Service Chiefs to plan for many possible events, we are supportive of efforts focused on keeping the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) in San Diego."
