	Ron Wright on Homeland Security

Will fight for expanded military spending

Ron believes that a strong national defense is the linchpin of freedom. Ron will fight for expanded military spending to ensure our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines have the tools and support they need to protect American citizens while taking care of their own families. As part of an enlarged defense budget, Ron supports modernization programs that will allow our military to meet 21st century threats, from rogue nations to non-state terrorist organizations.

Proposes grant program for retired military & police dogs

Wright introduced the K-9 Hero Act. If passed, the bill would create a grant program to assist nonprofits that take in retired military and law enforcement dogs and provide financial assistance to owners of the dogs. Specifically, the grants will help cover medical costs, which get pricey towards the end of a working dog's life and builds a barrier for retired animals to find homes.

PVS:Don't cut defense to balance budget.

Wright opposes the PVS survey question on cutting defense

Project Vote Smart inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Budget: In order to balance the budget, do you support reducing defense spending?' PVS self-description: "The Political Courage Test provides voters with positions on key issues. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
