I’ve worked in conflict zones and negotiated with terrorists. I know what happens when diplomacy fails and violence destroys hope. We must support leaders that envision and work for peace and believe in building long-term trust and security. I support a two-state solution in Israel and Palestine, will work to ensure humanitarian aid reaches civilians, and confront antisemitism and Islamophobia at home.

I’ll stand with Ukraine against authoritarian aggression, lead and strengthen NATO and key alliances, and re-invest in building our intelligence capabilities worldwide to protect Americans and our allies from fraud, terror and espionage. We must also re-invest in the value of American soft power that wins hearts and minds and elevates freedom and democracy worldwide.

America must lead by example by keeping promises, protecting human rights, rebuilding global trust and maintaining freedom, both for ourselves and our global partners.
