FARMINGTON – Today, 2nd district Candidate, and former Air Force pilot, Chris Stewart, expressed anger over the Air Force’s announcement to weaken our national defense and eliminate jobs at Hill Air Force Base. Chris cautioned that these decisions should not be made behind closed doors without the presence or input from representatives of Utah.
“Utah’s military facilities, especially Hill AFB, but also the Utah Test and Training Range, are absolutely critical to our national security. Anything that weakens these installations will hurt us in ways that we cannot afford. The current administration’s willingness to cut funds that go toward our national security is dangerous. It weakens our ability to sustain the infrastructure that is so vital to our national defense. This job-killing measure is inappropriate in this current environment of high unemployment. Moreover, it is troubling that the process of decision making is being done behind closed doors and without involvement from the states that are going to be impacted by these decisions.”
