Issue Position: National Security

Issue Position

Jeramey received his degree in Homeland Security and understands the threats America faces and the complexity of international politics.

In Congress, Jeramey will push for a tough, smart foreign policy that protects our national security while avoiding reckless and destabilizing missteps to help avoid international conflicts.

Jeramey supports the investigation of Russian interference in American politics. In Congress, he will work to preserve the integrity of the United States electoral process and support sanctions on any foreign interference. Jeramey will defend the NATO alliance, which remains essential to our national security here at home.

Jeramey will oppose unnecessary military intervention overseas and will only support the use of force where US national security is at stake. While in the Mississippi Legislature, Jeramey drafted House Concurrent Resolution 113, a concurrent resolution urging the Congress of the United States to vote no on the proposed drastic budget cuts to the United States Institute of Peace and United States State Department, thereby protecting the American interests of global Peace and Prosperity. Diplomatic approaches will always be Jeramey's first approach to solving international conflicts around the world.

Jeramey will be strong and uncompassionate on terror and will back efforts to destroy ISIS without deploying regular US ground forces. He will work to ensure that law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the military have the resources and authorities' necessary to prevent terrorism without sacrificing privacy and human rights.

Jeramey is committed to Israel's security as a homeland for the Jewish people and to strengthening the historic, unbreakable bond between the United States and Israel, one of our oldest allies.

Jeramey has meet several times with the Consul General of Israel and other Israeli diplomats while in the Mississippi Legislature and will be a fighting member of Congress to strengthen diplomatic military ties between the U.S. and Israel.

Jeramey will work to ensure Israel's military capabilities enable it to defend itself in a large and protracted multi-front war against hostile states and terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel is a small country in a volatile region that must be equipped to prevail in military conflict with multiple hostile nations and terrorist organizations.

Jeramey believes the United States should play a leading role in efforts to secure a lasting peace in the Middle East. Such a lasting peace will require direct bilateral negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, the aim of which should be the achievement of a two-state solution with Israel and a Palestinian state living alongside each other in peace. Any peace deal must protect Israel's territorial integrity and ensure Israel's security as a sovereign democratic state and a homeland for the Jewish people without threat of terrorism or invasion.
