Oppose Kash Patel’s confirmation as FBI Director

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the confirmation of Kash Patel as Director of the FBI. Mr. Patel’s track record raises serious concerns about his ability to lead an agency that requires independence, impartiality, and a steadfast commitment to upholding the rule of law. Throughout his career, Mr. Patel has demonstrated a troubling pattern of partisanship and political loyalty that undermines the core values of the FBI. His involvement in efforts to discredit the intelligence community’s work on Russian election interference and his role in promoting baseless conspiracy theories indicate a willingness to prioritize political agendas over objective facts. Such behavior is incompatible with the responsibilities of an FBI director, who must serve as a neutral and principled defender of justice. The FBI is tasked with safeguarding our nation’s security and upholding civil rights. It requires leadership that commands public trust, demonstrates integrity, and operates free from political influence. Appointing someone with a history of controversial and divisive conduct risks eroding public confidence in the agency and compromising its ability to carry out its mission effectively. Our nation cannot afford to have an FBI director whose actions may further polarize the institution or undermine its credibility. I urge you to reject Kash Patel’s confirmation and to advocate for a nominee who embodies the integrity, impartiality, and professionalism essential for this vital role. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.
