Last night, I had an incredible event with over 60 Tallahassee natives: students, veterans, community members, and elected officials.  The room was packed and I stood proudly alongside Mayor John Marks and Representative Alan Williams as we made our case that international development is vital to our nation’s security.

This was by far the most active and engaged crowd I’ve met with along the tour and they understood that changing the hearts and minds of Americans begins locally – in communities outside of the Washington, D.C. beltway and in communities like Tallahassee.

Check out ABC’s WCTV clip from the event below and take a minute to spread the word in your communities that international development keeps America safe.
