U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) met with members of the Altus Chamber of Commerce today in Washington. They discussed current legislative priorities, specifically infrastructure and national defense. 

“The Altus Chamber has been visiting Washington for decades and their annual Quail Breakfast, now in its 56^th year, is an institution,” Inhofe said. “We had a great visit this week where we talked about how President Trump’s efforts to remove burdensome regulations and passing historic tax reform have created strong economic growth, benefiting communities across Oklahoma.

“As a military community, Altus knows firsthand the importance of a strong national defense and rebuilding our military. President Trump shares that commitment, and we’re finally starting to turn a corner in our readiness—especially training, maintenance and modernization. As the training base for the KC-46 tanker, Altus will continue to play an important role for the Air Force for decades to come.”
