Statement from the GREAT USA Coalition on the Confirmation of Secretary Markwayne Mullin

Washington, D.C. — The GREAT USA Coalition welcomes the confirmation of Senator Markwayne Mullin as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

Secretary Mullin assumes this role at a time when the Department faces a wide range of responsibilities, from securing critical infrastructure to supporting the efficient movement of people and commerce. His experience in public service and understanding of operational challenges position him to provide steady leadership across these priorities.

The years ahead will be particularly significant, as the United States enters a “decade of sports” that will bring major international events to communities across the country. These events present an opportunity to showcase American strength and hospitality, while also requiring careful coordination to ensure security, efficiency, and a positive experience for visitors and residents alike.

The GREAT USA Coalition looks forward to working with Secretary Mullin, the Administration, and Congress to advance practical policies that strengthen security, support seamless travel, and help the United States deliver successful global events in the years ahead.
