WASHINGTON — The Steady State, an organization of more than 420 former national security, intelligence, diplomatic, military, law enforcement, and homeland security officials, today endorsed Hon. Chris Coons for Delaware’s Senate Seat .
Chris Coons represents Delaware in the U.S. Senate. He grew up in Hockessin, Delaware, and before joining the Senate spent a decade in New Castle County local government after working as an attorney for W.L. Gore & Associates and earning degrees from Amherst College, Yale Law School, and Yale Divinity School. In the Senate, he serves on the Appropriations, Foreign Relations, Judiciary, and Small Business & Entrepreneurship Committees. He is a Ranking Member of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, where he works on national security funding and oversight for U.S. troops and defense programs.
Chris Coons demonstrates a consistent commitment to the rule of law, supports nonpartisan oversight and accountability of the Executive Branch, exhibits a substantive understanding of the national security challenges facing the country, and upholds the democratic norms and ethical standards of public service that the organization’s criteria require.
“Institutions like the GAO and CBO only function when Congress defends them. Hon. Chris Coons has shown a willingness to do just that,” said Steven Cash, Executive Director of The Steady State.
