America must act decisively when diplomacy fails

As a Navy veteran, Navy spouse, and now mother of an active-duty servicemember, I understand the realities of military life, not just in theory, but through personal experience. Now, serving on the House Armed Services Committee, I carry that perspective into every conversation I have about national security and defense policy.

That’s why I fully support the recent U.S. military strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. This was not an act of war nor an unprovoked attack. It was a limited, targeted mission to prevent a regime that has repeatedly murdered Americans from acquiring a nuclear weapon. It was the right call, and it has made the world a safer place.
