Chair Conrad Statement on Joe Kent’s Nomination for National Counterterrorism Center
Seattle, WA – Today, Washington State Democratic Party Chair Shasti Conrad released the following statement:
“Washington knows that Joe Kent was the wrong choice for Congress and he’s a destructive choice to lead the National Counterterrorism Center. Someone who called for defunding the FBI and promotes conspiracy theories cannot be trusted with our national security. Joe Kent’s extreme record and total willingness to pave over constitutional rights at Trump’s request should disqualify him for any position in our government.”
The Washington State Democratic Party is committed to advancing progressive policy, empowering the grassroots, and ensuring Democratic victories up and down the ballot. Chair of the Washington Democrats, Shasti Conrad, is the first Indian-American woman to chair a major state party.
