Statement from Congressman Nick Langworthy on the Appointment of Senator Markwayne Mullin to Lead the Department of Homeland Security

March 5, 2026

“I applaud the President’s announcement that he will appoint Senator Markwayne Mullin to lead the Department of Homeland Security. As a member of the Armed Services Committee where he serves on the subcommittees dealing with emerging threats and readiness, he brings a wealth of experience and management expertise that will allow him to seamlessly take the reins of this critical agency. His pending appointment is welcome news and now it’s time for Democrats to stop blocking funding to the department. There is no more important task than protecting Americans’ safety and keeping this agency shuttered during these volatile times is putting our nation at grave risk.”
