2022 LA Senate race: on Homeland Security


Gary Chambers: Cut military budget to pay for Medicare for All

He wants to make health care universal through Medicare for All. Asked how to pay for the costly government program, he said, "Take money from the military. I'm not saying we don't need a good military or police officers. But the resources being spent there could be better spent."

Luke Mixon: My desire to serve was inspired by my grandfather

It was also during this time that my desire to serve in the military was inspired by my grandfather, Charles Mixon, who served as a B-24 flight engineer during WWII. I graduated from the Naval Academy in 2001, three months prior to 9/11, which would determine the course of my military career. During my time in the military, I was blessed to work with some of the bravest and most talented Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines. But I've also seen the consequences of irresponsible leadership.
