NDAA Makes Wyoming and America Safer

"The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) ensures America has a strong military to keep us safe in an increasingly dangerous world. Americans can rest easier knowing our military will continue to have the resources it needs to confront growing threats from China, Russia and other adversaries. I'm proud to vote to give our brave service members a much-deserved pay raise.

The NDAA secures big investments in Wyoming's military readiness. There is $183 million in funding for projects at Cheyenne's F.E. Warren Air Force Base, it maintains our ICBM force and it prioritizes nuclear modernization. The NDAA also includes bipartisan legislation I've championed to ensure we have a robust C-130 aircraft inventory providing airlift across the globe.

Energy security is national security. The NDAA includes my legislation to counter Russia's energy monopoly. My bill ensures our nuclear fuel supply chain begins with American uranium and ends with American fuel. Wyoming energy workers are ready to deliver.

Republicans secured key provisions that strike directly at certain woke Pentagon policies. We also right a wrong by forcing the Pentagon to compensate service members who were wrongly discharged due to the Biden administration's misguided COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

I'm proud to support Wyoming's men and women in uniform by voting for the NDAA."
