“As we look to increases for defense spending for opportunities at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, but at the same time, we have great vulnerabilities as we look to threats to Wright Patterson Air Force Base and the jobs in the federal government,” Turner said. “This is going to be a time where you need strong advocacy.”
Turner is a senior member of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee and sits on the Oversight and Accountability Committee.
He was first elected to Congress in 2002.
