I am writing to express my strong opposition to the nomination of Kristi Noem for Secretary of Homeland Security. Her record and approach to governance raise serious concerns about her fitness to serve in such a critical role.
Governor Noem has consistently prioritized divisive policies and rhetoric over effective leadership. Her support for legislation that restricts access to medically necessary care, particularly for vulnerable populations, demonstrates a lack of compassion and respect for evidence-based policymaking. Such actions have contributed to negative health outcomes and undermined trust in government institutions.
Additionally, her focus on personal branding and fitness over substantive policy achievements raises questions about her priorities as a leader. While promoting physical health is admirable, it should not overshadow the need for competent and inclusive governance. Leadership at the federal level requires a demonstrated ability to address complex challenges, build consensus, and act in the best interests of all Americans—qualities that Governor Noem’s record does not reflect.
Furthermore, her public statements and policy decisions often appear driven more by political ambition than by a genuine commitment to serving the public. This raises concerns about whether she would bring the necessary focus and impartiality to a federal leadership role.
I urge you to oppose this nomination and ensure that this critical position is filled by someone with the qualifications, temperament, ethics, and vision required to lead effectively.
