SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler was in Springfield Thursday touring the Aviation National Guard Facility known as AVCRAD.

Local troops work on and repair helicopters for 14 states around the nation here.

Hartzler is a member of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee which oversees Military spending.

The Congresswoman took several questions about President Trump’s recent Emergency Declaration on the crisis at our southern border.

Hartzler says she supports efforts to build and wall and believes the President is in his legal right to do so.

However, she’s concerned if the money that’s used to fund Military construction projects in Missouri, is pulled to fund the wall, she may not support the effort.

That includes the Fort Leonard Wood Hospital.
