Congressman Veasey Votes to Pass the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Veasey has voted for the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Congressman Veasey released the following statement on the NDAA:  

“Each year, the House Armed Service Committee (HASC) is responsible for crafting our nation’s military budget in the best interest of our national security, service members, and veterans. While no bill is perfect and there are important provisions I disagree with, this bill does meet these goals and includes several provisions I strongly support, including funding for national security programs like the F-35 that are critical for the DFW Metroplex. 

More importantly, this is a bill that gives our service members a much-deserved pay raise. Our nation’s continued security is owed to our brave service members. This small token of our nation’s appreciation is included in this iteration of the NDAA.”
