Congressman Eric Sorensen issued the following statement, in response to the Rock Island Arsenal Defense Alliance press conference held today, Tuesday, May 13, 2025.
“Recent reports that the Army is considering cutting hundreds of jobs from the Rock Island Arsenal have been very concerning to me, which is why I have been working with Republicans and Democrats to protect these critical National security positions,” he said.
“The Arsenal is essential to our military’s readiness, I will continue to advocate for the thousands of my neighbors who help keep our Nation safe and demand that the Department of Defense stop these cuts.”
