Fort Knox

I have the honor of representing Fort Knox in Congress. Fort Knox is the home of the Army’s Cadet Command, V Corps, Human Resources Command, Recruiting Command, and 1st Theater Sustainment Command. I fight for resources to support Fort Knox military families and improve our military’s readiness.

In the latest National Defense Authorization Act, I supported resources to modernize our military and a pay raise for troops to help keep up with the rising cost of living due to inflation. I also voted for the fiscal year 2021 and 2022 National Defense Authorization Acts (NDAA) that authorize a new Fort Knox Child Development Center and new Van Voorhis Elementary School at Fort Knox, respectively. Fort Knox is a leader in military innovation with its award-winning energy conservation program, which allows the base to generate its own energy and go completely off the grid if necessary. I worked with Senator McConnell and Senator Paul to secure legislation in the fiscal year 2019 NDAA to allow Fort Knox to continue using natural gas as an energy source at Fort Knox. This is a national security issue which will ensure Fort Knox is secure and well-positioned should a threat arise.
