I am writing as a constituent and a parent who is deeply concerned about the growing tension between the United States and Iran. This situation is not just about foreign policy. It is about real people and real consequences. Iran is home to millions of families, children, and ordinary citizens who have little control over political decisions, yet they are the ones who suffer most when conflict escalates. We have seen time and again how quickly military action can spiral. Once it begins, it becomes very difficult to contain. The human cost is always high, and it is often civilians who pay the price first. As a parent, that is impossible to ignore. There are also real consequences here at home. Conflict in the region can disrupt global energy markets, increase costs for American families, and create long-term economic instability. It can also pull us into a broader conflict that is difficult to exit. I am asking you to take a clear and steady position: • Oppose further military escalation • Support serious and sustained diplomatic efforts • Ensure that any decision involving military action is subject to proper Congressional oversight • Keep focus on the urgent needs facing families here at home We need leadership that is thoughtful, measured, and focused. This is not a moment for reactive decisions or unclear messaging. It is a moment to prevent unnecessary harm and to choose a path that prioritizes stability and human life. Please use your voice to support diplomacy and restraint.
