WASHINGTON – Today, Senator Jim Justice released a statement following his vote to confirm South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security: “Governor Noem and President Trump both understand the critical need to swiftly secure the southern border and stop the invasion of criminal gangs, deadly drugs, and human traffickers we have witnessed flowing into our country. Poor leadership by the previous administration has made every state a border state, including West Virginia. I look forward to working with Governor Noem, like I did as Governor of West Virginia, in securing our border and making America safe again,” said Senator Jim Justice.

WASHINGTON – Today, Senator Jim Justice released a statement following his vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense: “Pete Hegseth is a warrior and is the prescription for a cumbersome and overly bureaucratic Department of Defense. He cares deeply about the well-being of our men and women in uniform because he was one of them, and will put their interests and the interests of our country first. President Trump is entitled to pick who he thinks is best for the job – I’m proud to stand with President Trump and support Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense,” said Senator Jim Justice.
