McConnell Proud to Confirm Driscoll as Army Secretary

Washington, D.C.
–
U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement today regarding the confirmation of Dan Driscoll as United States Secretary of the Army:
“Dan Driscoll steps into the role of Army Secretary at a pivotal moment. Today, we face an axis of aggressors in Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, and we owe it to our servicemembers and the American people to plan accordingly. The Secretary must take on the essential task of building up and maintaining the backbone of American hard power, work on which I intend to partner closely from the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. He must support our men and women in uniform and strengthen our Army installations, such as the three premier installations in Kentucky. And importantly, Secretary Driscoll must bring a sea change to the way we plan for the future – preserving our peace not through one-time injections and half-measures, but by getting serious about strengthening our hand and sustaining America’s military edge long term.”
