WASHINGTON, D.C. – Monday, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) released the following statement after voting to successfully confirm Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) as the next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“Markwayne Mullin is a patriot and a good man. He’s been a great colleague and friend in the Senate. I know he will be a great Secretary at DHS. His job faces a tough path with Democrats unwilling to reconcile on a plan to reopen the Department of Homeland Security. But if anyone is up for the job, it’s Markwayne Mullin. Congratulations Secretary Mullin!”
