Issue Position: Russia and Our Elections

Issue Position

The outcome of our elections should be determined by American voters, not a foreign government that may not share our country's interests or our values. In 2016, according to the unanimous, nonpartisan opinion of all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies, the government of Russia stole private information from American citizens, ensured that information was published, and spread targeted fake news stories on American social media. The goal of these new and disturbing tactics was to undermine the credibility of our election and ensure that President Trump was elected.

Now, the FBI and multiple Congressional Committees are investigating whether the Trump campaign worked with the Russian officials who committed these crimes. Unlike Congressman John Faso and Republicans in Congress, my goal is to prioritize uncovering the truth, not to protect the President. I support the investigation led by the independent Special Counsel and the ongoing work of Congress and the FBI to ensure that we may understand precisely what happened--and can prevent it from ever happening again.
