Def. | 2016-12-02 | 2016 | 2016-12 | Republican | House | SC | Jeffrey Duncan | D000615 | jeffduncan.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. – Congressman Jeff Duncan (SC-03) released the following statement to commend President-Elect Donald J. Trump’s selection of retired U.S. Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis to the cabinet as Secretary of Defense: “I am very pleased with President-elect Trump’s choice to name retired General James Mattis as Secretary of Defense. His 41-year career in the Marine Corps—from rifleman to Commander of U.S. Central Command—is evidence that he is a man of dedication and thoughtful strategy. Since his retirement from the Marines, General Mattis has served as a consultant and a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution and has earned a reputation of speaking the truth and will continue to do so when it comes to standing with Israel and the situation we are facing in the Middle East with radical Islamic terrorism. General Mattis has firsthand on-the-ground experience leading some of our military’s most significant operations over the past 20 years. His commitment to a safe and secure America makes him the most qualified to lead our nation’s military. I greatly look forward to working with General Mattis in his role as Defense Secretary to make America safe and secure again.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
