George Eichhorn on Homeland Security

Republican Senate challenger

Intelligence services and military have been under-funded

Decisions from the 1990s' peace dividend are partially responsible for limiting our options today. One aspect of those decisions was the underfunding of America's intelligence services. That left us unprepared for the human intelligence needs of today's situation. George Eichhorn will work to ensure that our troops have the resources they need to be successful. Eichhorn will work to ensure our government has the long term needs of homeland security in mind as budgets are debated and decisions are made.
