U.S. global leadership is critical not only to our own national security, but to the safety and stability of the entire world. As a member of the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Subcommittee, I am proud to work across the aisle to support international programs that boost access to education and health care and protect human rights and democracy around the globe. I support funding for programs to deliver essential humanitarian aid, work with partner nations to promote free and fair elections, and mitigate global conflict.

As Co-Chair of the Bipartisan Women, Peace, and Security Caucus, I work with bipartisan colleagues to promote the role of women in conflict resolution and peacebuilding. When women and girls are safe, secure, and afforded opportunities to succeed, our world is safe and more prosperous. I am committed to the implementation of the Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017 to ensure women have active, meaningful roles in all aspects of society and women maintain active roles in advancing democracy and stability worldwide.
