A coalition of veteran lawmakers, including Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, along with Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan, issued a powerful joint statement reaffirming their unwavering commitment to national security and constitutional oath. They emphasized that no threat, intimidation, or violence will deter their dedication to defending the United States. This declaration comes amid rising concerns over threats against public officials and underscores the importance of safeguarding democratic institutions. Recent developments highlight increased security measures around Congress, with the Department of Homeland Security reporting a 30% rise in threats against lawmakers since 2024. Experts note that political violence has surged nationally, with over 1,200 incidents reported in the past year, prompting enhanced security protocols. The lawmakers’ statement also underscores the vital role of veteran leadership in maintaining national stability, especially as misinformation campaigns and cyber threats continue to escalate. Additionally, recent legislation aims to bolster law enforcement resources, improve threat detection, and protect public officials from targeted violence. The statement reflects a broader bipartisan consensus on the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring the safety of those who serve in government. As political tensions persist, experts warn that sustained efforts are necessary to prevent further escalation and to preserve the integrity of American democracy. This united front by veteran lawmakers serves as a reminder of the enduring commitment to the Constitution and the ongoing fight against threats to national security.
