Decorated Army Leader Backs Hasdorff’s Commitment to National Security, Military Readiness, and Constitutional Leadership
WELLINGTON, FL – Congressional candidate Terri Hasdorff today announced the endorsement of Major General Robert F. Dees, U.S. Army (Ret.), a highly decorated military leader with more than three decades of distinguished service defending the United States.
Throughout his military career, Major General Dees commanded at every level of the Army, served in senior Pentagon leadership positions, and helped shape America’s national security strategy during some of the nation’s most challenging times. Following his military service, he has remained a respected leader in the areas of national security, leadership development, and faith-based initiatives.
In announcing his endorsement, Major General Dees said:
“At a time when America faces growing threats around the world, we need leaders in Congress who understand the importance of peace through strength and are willing to fight for the security of our nation. Terri Hasdorff is that leader. She understands that a strong military, secure borders, and a robust national defense are essential to preserving our freedoms and protecting future generations. She will be a tireless advocate for our servicemembers, veterans, military families, and the defense capabilities that keep our nation safe. Just as importantly, she understands that America’s strength abroad begins with strong leadership and constitutional principles at home.
I am proud to endorse Terri Hasdorff for Congress and am confident she will be a powerful voice for national security, American sovereignty, and the values that have made our nation the beacon of freedom for the world.”
— Major General Robert F. Dees, U.S. Army (Ret.)
Hasdorff said she is deeply honored to receive the endorsement from one of America’s most respected military leaders.
“Major General Dees has dedicated his life to serving our nation with honor, courage, and integrity,” said Hasdorff. “His leadership on the battlefield and his unwavering commitment to our nation’s security have earned the respect of military leaders around the world. I am humbled by his endorsement and grateful for his confidence in my ability to serve the people of Florida’s 22nd Congressional District.”
Hasdorff’s commitment to national security is rooted in years of experience in Washington, where she worked alongside Members of Congress and conservative leaders on defense, appropriations, and government oversight issues. She has consistently advocated for rebuilding America’s military, strengthening border security, supporting veterans, and ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly to maintain the world’s strongest fighting force.
“As our adversaries become more aggressive and the world grows increasingly unstable, Congress must provide our military with the resources, leadership, and strategic vision necessary to deter conflict and defend American interests,” Hasdorff said. “Peace is secured through strength, not weakness. I will always stand with our service members, our veterans, and the families who sacrifice every day to protect our freedoms.”
Hasdorff added that she believes restoring America’s leadership requires both military strength and faithful adherence to the Constitution.
“Our military is second to none because the principles upon which America was founded are second to none,” she said. “Protecting those principles, defending our sovereignty, and ensuring future generations inherit a safer and stronger America will be among my highest priorities in Congress.”
Hasdorff is running to represent Florida’s newly created 22nd Congressional District. Her campaign is focused on restoring fiscal responsibility, securing the border, strengthening America’s military, defending constitutional freedoms, supporting law enforcement, and promoting America First policies that allow families and businesses to prosper.
