RHINELANDER - Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) will hold more power this year as he chairs the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. In an interview Thursday, Johnson said his goal was to improve border security and protect citizens from deadly attacks.
Johnson said he had not yet received a special briefing on the Charlie Hebdo magazine massacre, in which gunman killed 12 people. He said America's security is his number one priority, but Johnson doesn't want to start taking away liberties from Americans.
French police are still looking for the suspects behind the murders. Johnson calls the event a tragedy. However, he says he is hesitant to significantly boost security here in the U.S.
