February 15, 2017

WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) released the following statement Wednesday after meeting with President Trump’s Air Force Secretary nominee Heather Wilson:
 
“I am grateful to Dr. Wilson for her willingness to take on this job, and I was pleased with our discussion this morning on matters important to the Air Force.  She is highly qualified, and her wealth of experience in the Air Force, Congress, and private sector will serve her well at the helm of a large organization.”
 
“There is no shortage of issues that the next Air Force Secretary must address, from the acquisition of major weapon systems to personnel and hiring challenges. I am proud that many of these solutions will be developed and implemented in Utah by the men and women at Hill Air Force Base and Ogden Air Logistics Complex, and I invited Dr. Wilson, if confirmed, to visit as soon as possible and see these innovators herself.”
