Congresswoman Susie Lee voted to pass the annual National Defense Authorization Act. This bipartisan bill reaffirms Democrats’ commitment to defending our nation and supporting the men and women who put their lives on the line for our security.
Thanks to Lee, a host of extreme, far-right policies were removed from the bill. Instead, 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.
Invests in our allies and our relationships abroad.
Susie Lee continues to deliver results to support our service members, veterans, and their families both on and off the battlefield.
DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
“Susie Lee remains steadfast in her commitment to supporting families and growing the middle class, and this defense bill delivers on that commitment. This vote is the perfect example of what happens when lawmakers put people over politics and govern responsibly without giving in to MAGA demands.”
