<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The National Sheriff’s Association urged the Senate on Monday to quickly confirm <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tulsi-gabbard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tulsi Gabbard</a> as Director of National Intelligence, saying she had the organization’s complete endorsement.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a <a href="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/01/National-Sheriffs-Letter-Endorsing-Tulsi-Gabbard.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), National Sheriff’s Association President Kieran Donahue, a sheriff from Idaho, wrote that the Senate should “expeditiously” move to confirm Gabbard, saying her confirmation was needed to increase trust between local law enforcement and the intelligence community. The association represents more than 3,000 sheriffs across the country. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Ms. Gabbard has demonstrated a commitment to addressing the critical disconnect between our intelligence agencies and local law enforcement in preparing for sophisticated and pervasive threats,” Donahue wrote to Cotton, who heads up the Select Committee on Intelligence. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He wrote that the need for cooperation was on display when sheriffs in Texas and Georgia played a significant role in the investigation into the New Orleans terror attack that left 14 people dead. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The recent terror attack on New Orleans serves as a stark reminder of the need for seamless coordination. In the immediate aftermath of the attack, actionable leads provided by Sheriffs in Harris County, Texas, and Fulton County, Georgia, proved instrumental,” Donahue said. “These events, like the attacks of 9/11, underscore the urgent need for local law enforcement to have a seat at the table during strategic planning discussions. Ms. Gabbard has pledged to make this a priority.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Idaho sheriff also said Gabbard’s previous government experience and leadership in the U.S. Army Reserve made “her uniquely qualified for this critical role. Her proven ability to lead and her deep understanding of national security threats have earned the confidence and respect of Sheriffs across the country.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hearings for several of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks will begin this week, starting with Pete Hegseth&#8217;s meeting with the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday morning. Gabbard’s hearing has not yet been scheduled but could be set for sometime next week. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gabbard <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-barrasso-republican-senate-whip-tulsi-gabbard-confirmation-hearing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CBS News on Monday that she is &#8220;focused on continuing to meet with senators as we continue to go through this process” and working “closely” with Cotton to get a hearing scheduled. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), the Senate majority whip, told CBS that he expected GOP support.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;She continues to have promotions in the military. She&#8217;s a lieutenant colonel. She now has top level security clearances,&#8221; Barrasso said. &#8220;She&#8217;s the right person to keep America secure and safe.&#8221;</span></p>
