Florida GOP Chairman Evan Power congratulates Senator Markwayne Mullin on his confirmation as U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, calling it a critical step toward restoring strength and security at America’s borders.

“Markwayne Mullin is a proven fighter who understands that securing our border is a fundamental responsibility of the federal government,” said Power. “I’m confident that under President Trump’s leadership, Secretary Mullin will build on the progress being made, strengthen enforcement, and ensure we remain focused on stopping illegal drugs, combating human trafficking, and keeping our communities safe.”

Chairman Power emphasized that strong leadership at DHS is essential to stopping the flow of illegal drugs, combating human trafficking, and restoring law and order at the southern border.
