“Promises made, promises kept! Studies found Huntsville, Alabama to be the best suited place for Space Force to set up its headquarters. It was wrong of the previous administration to put politics ahead of what was best for this branch of our military.

Almost 7,000 of my constituents from Tennessee’s Fourth Congressional District commute into the Huntsville area for work every day bringing their expertise to NASA, the MDA, Redstone Arsenal, and multiple aerospace and defense contractors in the area. I am grateful for the work they do and how they represent our district. These people are one of the many reasons Huntsville is the best place for Space Force to call home.”
