Issue Position: Afghanistan

Issue Position

After almost nine years and the sacrifices made by thousands of our brave service men and women, the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan is not succeeding. In order to defeat the Taliban, the Afghan government must build up its own police force, crack down on corruption, empower women, and strengthen civil society. I believe that reducing the U.S. military footprint and increasing civilian assistance in Afghanistan will both save lives and assist the process of democratization.
