Scott Perry Votes Against Bipartisan Defense Bill

Yesterday, Scott Perry voted against the annual National Defense Authorization Act, opposing significant bipartisan investments into our nation’s military such as a pay raise for service members. Their vote is a slap in the face to the men and women who put their lives on the line for our security.

No thanks to Perry, this year’s legislation:

  • Raises service member pay by 5.2%, the largest bump in 20 years.

  • Invests in child care, housing, and health care.

  • Bolsters education and child development for military families.

  • Improves readiness and spurs modernization efforts.

  • Invest in our allies and our relationships abroad.

With his vote, Perry failed service members and their families across Pennsylvania.

DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“Scott Perry has inexplicably turned their back on Pennnsylvania’s servicemen and women, their families, and the local economy. House Democrats once again stepped up and delivered a bipartisan defense bill while Perry opted for extremism. Voters are fed up with this disgusting brand of hyper-partisan politics, and will send Perry packing next year.”
