Rep. Troy E. Nehls' Statement After Voting Against NDAA

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Troy E. Nehls (R-TX-22) issued the following statement after voting against the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA):

"Today, I voted against the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the Fiscal Year 2023", said Congressman Nehls. "This year's defense bill is a perfect reminder of why Washington is broken. For starters, the bill includes $800 million in additional Ukraine funding with no oversight. We requested an audit on the billions we've already given Ukraine, and the Democrats refused. Additionally, although the vaccine mandate for military members was stripped from the bill, it does not go far enough. We must rehire these heroes with mandatory backpay.

I voted no because I believe our nation's troops and taxpayers deserve better."
