WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Thursday, U.S. Congressman Michael Waltz (FL-6) released the following statement regarding Speaker Pelosi’s Task Force Security Plan: 

“Speaker Pelosi continues to play politics behind closed doors regarding our security on Capitol Hill and lawmakers have been left in the dark for too long,” said Rep. Waltz. “Before any extension for National Guard presence is finalized, lawmakers should be briefed on the latest intelligence threat assessments to determine the necessity of keeping our servicemembers away from their families and fulltime jobs. If more security is needed, it should by our Capitol Police with better planning and intelligence, not drawing from National Guardsmen and women that are needed for other missions such as vaccine distribution, natural disaster and overseas deployments.”
