Reject Unqualified NATO Nominee, Uphold Alliance Integrity

Mathew Whitaker's lack of foreign policy or military experience renders him unfit to serve as the U.S. Permanent Representative to NATO, a crucial position responsible for maintaining the alliance's commitment to collective defense and deterring external threats. His nomination signals an alarming shift towards aligning with Russian interests at the expense of cooperative security agreements that have preserved stability in Europe for decades. Whitaker's unwavering loyalty to Trump and willingness to pursue an "America First" doctrine raise serious concerns about his ability to effectively advocate for Ukraine's sovereignty and foster unity among NATO member nations in the face of Russian aggression. Confirming an unqualified nominee like Whitaker would undermine American leadership on the global stage and jeopardize longstanding efforts to prevent conflict and promote peace through multinational cooperation. As a constituent, I urge you to reject Whitaker's nomination and uphold our nation's steadfast support for NATO and its mission.
