Air, Space, and Cyber Conference with the Air and Space Forces Association

I joined my good friend, Lt. Gen. David A. Deptula, USAF (Ret.) Dean of AFA’s Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies, for a panel conversation at the annual Air, Space, and Cyber Conference. During our conversation, I made the case for why the U.S. Air Force needs more of its veterans on Capitol Hill and invited more air and space professionals to join me in Congress.

I also advocated for increased investment in airpower. The U.S. Air Force is the oldest and smallest it's ever been. We must recapitalize by giving the Department of the Air Force the resources to match the load it is carrying. Congress must invest in the next generation of airpower, and I'm committed to rallying my colleagues together to deliver on this promise.
