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.
