Sebren after Col. Sebren committed to restoring merit-based promotions and abandoning the woke policies that were disastrous for our military under the Biden administration. Senator Banks placed a hold on his promotion in July due to Col. Sebren’s previous support for military promotions based on race and gender. Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.): “After speaking with Under Secretary of the Air Force Matthew Lohmeier and hearing directly from Colonel Sebren, I’m confident he understands the urgency of restoring merit and excellence in our armed forces. I’m grateful for his service and encouraged to see military leaders standing up against the divisive, woke politics that weakened the Pentagon under Joe Biden.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
