McConnell Proud to Confirm Mullin as Secretary of Homeland Security

WASHINGTON, D.C.
–
U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement today regarding the confirmation of Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) as U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security:
“Markwayne Mullin has been a fierce advocate for the people of Oklahoma in Congress, and I’ve been proud to serve with him in the U.S. Senate for the last three years. His next job will entail even bigger responsibilities, from protecting America’s critical infrastructure to keeping the southern border secure. As Secretary Mullin gets to work, I look forward to working with him to defend our country from domestic and foreign threats. And I urge Senate Democrats to join Republicans in restoring the funding he’ll need to carry out DHS’s important mission.”
