I am writing as your constituent to request a clear explanation for your recent vote against ending the war with Iran. This conflict has already carried significant human, economic, and strategic costs. Many Minnesotans—including myself—are trying to understand why you chose not to support efforts to bring the war to a close. Your newsletter and public statements have not provided enough detail to explain your position. I am asking you to clarify, in your own words: • Why you voted against ending the war. • What specific objectives you believe justify continuing the conflict. • What conditions you consider necessary for the United States to pursue de‑escalation or withdrawal. • How your vote aligns with the long‑term interests of Minnesotans and the country. These are serious decisions with real consequences for service members, families, and global stability. Your constituents deserve a transparent explanation of your reasoning. I look forward to your response.
