What's Next After Another Terror Attack

Sen. Johnson had this say after the deadly terror attack at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, Turkey:

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this latest tragedy. Sadly, it seems we are saying that a lot these days. We need to face the reality that the root cause of so many of these terrorist attacks is radical Islamist ideology. The civilized world must unite and fight to reclaim the freedom that Islamic terrorists are methodically taking away.”

"It's depressing, the increased frequency of these terrorist attacks around the world." - Sen. Ron Johnson

Helping Puerto Rico Without a Bailout

Sen. Johnson voted this week for legislation to prevent taxpayer money from being used to bail out the government of Puerto Rico.

The bill imposes fiscal reforms necessary for the territory to restructure its overwhelming debt.  Sen. Johnson  said the measure’s protection for American taxpayers was its strength.

“It's a good bill," Johnson said. “It's not a bailout by taxpayers. The bill provides strong financial controls, which is what is necessary for Puerto Rico."

“This legislation provides the best chance  to put Puerto Rico, a territory of the United States, on a sustainable path - and it accomplishes that without using U.S. taxpayers’ money.”
