CVA Ohio Highlights National Security Focus Through Testimony on Fiscal Responsibility and Energy Security
COLUMBUS, OH – Concerned Veterans for America-Ohio (CVA-OH) this week testified before the Ohio House Government Oversight Committee and House Energy Committee in support of reforms aimed at strengthening America’s national security, economic resilience, and long-term prosperity.
CVA-OH Strategic Director Adam Miller delivered proponent testimony on House Concurrent Resolutions 24 and 35, highlighting the need for responsible fiscal stewardship and domestic energy production as critical components of a strong and secure nation.
“Veterans understand that national security begins long before a crisis occurs,” said CVA-OH Strategic Director Adam Miller. “A strong nation requires fiscal responsibility, reliable domestic energy production, and policies that strengthen America’s sovereignty and economic resilience. These resolutions recognize that our security depends not only on military readiness, but on the long-term foundations that keep our nation strong.”
In testimony supporting H.C.R. 24, CVA-OH highlighted the growing national debt as one of the greatest threats to America’s long-term security and prosperity. The organization warned that rising interest payments, unsustainable spending, and chronic fiscal mismanagement threaten economic growth and limit the nation’s ability to respond to future challenges.
CVA-OH also urged support for H.C.R. 35, emphasizing that American energy security is national security. The organization noted that permitting delays and regulatory barriers increase costs for consumers, weaken grid reliability, and create unnecessary dependence on foreign energy sources. Streamlining energy infrastructure development would strengthen economic resilience while supporting America’s strategic interests.
In addition to its testimony, CVA-OH supports H.C.R. 42 and other policies that reinforce American sovereignty, strengthen national security, and uphold the rule of law.
“Whether we’re addressing runaway debt, strengthening domestic energy production, or advancing policies that reinforce America’s security and sovereignty, the underlying principle is the same,” Miller added. “America is strongest when we pursue practical reforms that increase security, improve accountability, and preserve the freedoms and opportunities that generations of veterans have fought to defend.”
