  • Co-Chair Letter to Secretary Mattis Regarding New Members of the Council of Governors
    June 13, 2017 The Honorable James Mattis Secretary U.S. Department of Defense The Pentagon Washington, D.C. Dear Secretary Mattis, As co-chairs of the Council of Governors, we look forward to working with you to build upon the strong relationship between the nation's governors and the Department of Defense, and to invite you to participate in our summer Council of Governors plenary meeting on July 13th in Providence, Rhode Island. As you may know, the Council was established by Section 1822 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 and implemented by Presidential Executive Order 13528. It consists of 10 bi-partisan governors appointed by the President to focus on matters of national security, homeland defense, synchronization and integration of state and federal military activities in the United States, as well as matters of mutual interest pertaining to the National Guard and civil support activities. The Council provides for the exchange of information and discussion in advance of any formal request, submission or implementation of federal proposals relating to changing laws, regulations or policies affecting the National Guard or military operations in support of State and domestic authorities. As commanders-in-chief of the National Guard in our respective states, it is critical we work together with the Department on areas that could adjust the makeup of our National Guard forces. Governors are responsible for the safety and welfare of our citizens and managing our forces. Therefore, it is crucial that governors be consulted on proposals affecting the Guard so that we may fully assess the impact to our states.

Both of them provided reassurance in my decision to attend graduate school and were there for me every step of the way. Second, I wish to thank my outstanding dissertation committee. Sidney Milkis, James Ceaser and James Savage have been outstanding, compassionate, and able advisors and have offered more support and inspiration, through their scholarship and personal interactions with me, than I could have ever expected or hoped for.
