2022 OH Senate race: on Homeland Security


Bernie Moreno: A strong American military is the only way to ensure peace

A strong American military, the best in the world, is the only way to ensure peace. We need to ensure they are properly funded and have the resources they need to keep us safe. Our heroic veterans put everything on the line to fight for our freedoms. We need to make sure we don't forget their sacrifices and always take care of them.

Jane Timken: Supports investing in our military and veterans

"If you think about what he was able to accomplish, whether it was securing the border or being strong on a national foreign policy stage. Our economy was booming before the pandemic, we had invested in our military and veterans. Those are things that resonate with voters and they still resonate with voters."
