Rep. Sara Jacobs said:
“I’m so proud to represent San Diego, the biggest military community in the country. It’s MY community, MY neighbors and friends, who’ve been shipped off to fight Secretary Hegseth’s reckless war in Iran. So I take it personally when our leaders are cavalier with our service members’ lives.
“I take it personally when our leaders ask our service members to take illegal action in Iran, Venezuela, and Yemen. I take it personally when my constituents aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln spent 10 months at sea, sometimes without enough food to eat, hot water to take a shower, and sufficient access to health care. And it’s my constituents who are STILL fighting this war.
“And what has it all been for? We’re not any safer or more secure.
“And look at what’s been done in our name: a girls elementary school bombed in Minab. Hundreds of people murdered in boats in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific.
“This isn’t strength. It’s recklessness. It’s illegal. And someone should be held accountable – and we should start with impeaching Secretary Hegseth. So my vote today isn’t political – it’s personal and it’s for the service members that I represent.”
