Our national security decisions should be driven only by what best keeps Americans safe – not by what makes the defense industry the most money. That’s why I’m introducing new legislation to loosen the stranglehold defense contractors have on the Pentagon and #EndCorruptionNow.
My bill with @RepSpeier would:
-Slam shut the revolving door between defense contractors & the Pentagon
-Ban DOD officials from owning defense contractor stock
-Limit foreign gov’ts from hiring former US national security officials
-Increase transparency of lobbying

The defense industry will inevitably have a seat at the table, but they shouldn’t get to own the table. US security & values must come ahead of private companies' profits. Congress should stand up to the military industrial complex & pass the DOD Ethics & Anti-Corruption Act.
