Hon. Senator Jon Kyl- Jon Kyl has served as Arizona’s senator since 1994, and is the ranking Republican member of the Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security.

This year, Senator Kyl lent his powerful voice to expose the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) unsavory connections in a letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller and hosted embattled Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders, after Wilders was denied access to the United Kingdom because of his film, “Fitna.” Prior to entering the Senate, Kyl served in the House of Representatives from 1987 to 1995.
