WASHINGTON, D.C. — Thursday, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) released a statement following House passage of the FY23 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which funds our National defense.  

Rep. August Pfluger (TX-11): “There is no more sacred responsibility given to this Congress than supporting our National Defense and the men and women of our military. This legislation gives a much-needed 4.6% pay raise to our troops, includes over $50 million MILCON investment into Ft. Hood, and strikes the Biden Administration’s short-sighted vaccine mandate for military service members. America faces threats all across the globe, but this bill sets the United States on a path to ensure the homeland is secure and our adversaries are held in check.”  

Rep. Pfluger spoke on the House Floor in support of the bill. View his remarks here.

Three of Rep. Pfluger’s original pieces of standalone legislation are included in the bill that help the U.S. better understand the threat of Russian private military companies, uphold U.S. commitments to NATO, and seal the cross-border tunnels between the U.S. and Mexico.
