Statement by Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill Regarding the Trump Administration’s Attack on Senator Mark Kelly 

“This is another abuse of power by the most incompetent and unfit Secretary of Defense in our nation's history. Sen. Mark Kelly – a New Jersey native and fellow U.S. Navy veteran – has served our country with distinction, both in combat and space missions.  Now, Hegseth wants to prosecute him for stating unequivocally that service members must follow the law and the Constitution – a reminder that Hegseth himself should heed.”
