Kaine Statement on Mullin Nomination to Lead DHS

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) released the following statement regarding Senator Markwayne Mullin's (R-OK) nomination to be Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS):

"DHS is entrusted with many responsibilities. One important priority is working with state and local officials to protect the integrity of American elections. Senator Mullin's votes against certifying 2020 election results when he served in the House of Representatives jeopardized American democracy by giving credence to baseless conspiracies about our elections. That makes him the wrong person to serve as the DHS Secretary."
