I am writing as your constituent to urge you in the strongest possible terms to vote NO on the nomination of Senator Markwayne Mullin for Secretary of Homeland Security. This nomination is not just questionable — it is dangerous. DHS is a massive, high‑stakes national‑security agency, and placing an unqualified, volatile political figure at its helm would be an unacceptable risk. Here are five clear reasons this nomination must be rejected: 1. No relevant leadership or homeland‑security experience. Mullin has never managed anything remotely comparable to DHS. The Department requires deep operational expertise, not on‑the‑job training. 2. Repeated public displays of aggressive, unprofessional behavior. His conduct in Senate hearings — including near‑physical confrontations — shows a lack of discipline and judgment incompatible with leading a national‑security agency. 3. A hyper‑partisan record that would undermine DHS’s mission. DHS must function above politics. Mullin’s approach is openly combative and partisan, which would erode trust and cooperation across agencies and states. 4. No demonstrated understanding of DHS’s core responsibilities. From cybersecurity to FEMA to border operations, his public record shows minimal policy depth. DHS cannot afford a Secretary who has to learn the basics after being confirmed. 5. A pattern of poor judgment that raises red flags about decision‑making. The Secretary of Homeland Security must be steady, strategic, and focused on national safety. Mullin’s behavior suggests the opposite. For the safety and stability of the country, I urge you to vote NO on this nomination. DHS needs a serious, qualified leader — not a political gamble. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.
