Dear Senators Grassley and Ernst,
Associated Press reported Tuesday Tulsi Gabbard, President Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence, advanced from the Senate Intelligence Committee in an 8-9 vote. Next steps are for the Senate to schedule a vote. I urge you to vote no on Gabbard.
When Gabbard was running for the Democratic nomination for president in 2019, I met her at a neighbor’s home. I am a U.S. Army veteran, and from this and one previous encounter in 2016, I can say I was not impressed with her depth of thought or with her qualifications to head a government agency. It is personal experiences like this that drive my opposition to her confirmation as director of DNI.
Thank you for your consideration.
Regards, Paul Deaton
