This week, House Republicans will vote on the FY24 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which provides for our nation’s defense and delivers on a key pillar of our Commitment to America - a nation that’s safe.
The FY24 NDAA supports our servicemembers and their families through a pay increase as well as improved housing and access to healthcare while pushing back against the radical woke ideology being forced on our servicemembers.
MAKE NO MISTAKE: House Republicans will always prioritize military readiness and our servicemembers' needs over President Biden's Far Left, woke agenda at the Department of Defense.
