Sullivan Meets with Secretary of Homeland Security Designee Nielsen
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK), a member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, released the following statement after meeting with President Trump’s designee to become the next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen.
“I had a productive meeting with Kirstjen Nielsen, President Trump’s nominee to head DHS,” said Senator Sullivan. “Kirstjen’s experience and leadership working at DHS gives her the familiarity needed to run such an important agency. During our visit, we discussed the strategic national security importance of adding more icebreakers to a lackluster fleet, and I also stressed the need for DHS to focus on improving and strengthening the H-2B visa process, a program that supports Alaska’s seasonal labor workforce and is vital to the Alaskan seafood industry. I look forward to voting to approve her confirmation and to working with her in the future.”
