Costa Statement on Death of Alexei Navalny

FRESNO, Calif. - Congressman Jim Costa (CA-21) released the following statement after the death of Alexei Navalny, the Opposition leader in Russia. 

“Congress cannot continue allowing partisan politics to get in the way of our responsibility. The American people and our allies are counting on us to meet our obligations to protect our national security. The world is watching how we respond,” said Costa. “Enhancing security at our southern border, and funding for Ukraine and other allies will deter greater threats from foreign adversaries like Russia and China. Responsible governance requires a compromise, and this bipartisan solution would address the challenges we face both here at home and abroad.”
