Issue Position: A Strong Military

Issue Position

As an Air Force veteran, Barry understands that peace comes only through effective diplomacy backed by a strong and effective military.

We live in a dangerous time, with rogue regimes that are rapidly developing nuclear weapons and terrorist organizations that are funded by foreign governments. Barry has voted to increase defense spending so our men and women in uniform will have the resources they need to defend our freedom. Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines and Coast Guardsmen deserve state-of-the-art weapons and equipment necessary to do their jobs.

We must also ensure that when our men and women in uniform are in action, they can be confident that their families are cared for and have the resources they need at home. Barry has fought for and supported a well-deserved pay raise for the members of our military.

National Security in the 21st century also includes the cyber battlefield, as well as in space. With over 20 years in the information technology sector, Barry understands the unique battlefield of cyberspace and is working to protect our vital intelligence and national security infrastructure, and to provide our military with the resources and training to counter these cyber threats.
