My fellow conservatives and I made it clear we do not support drafting our daughters, and that red flag laws that would disarm veterans have no place in the NDAA. House and Senate Republicans worked across the aisle to remove partisan provisions from the final version of our national defense bill. And I could not, in good conscience, support legislation that would ultimately ruin our military with woke policies. I’m for funding our military, but the bad outweighed the good in the original House version of the bill. I voted against this version of the bill. Joe Neguse’s CORE Acts, as well as several other public lands bills, even though they have nothing to do with national defense and aim to lock up significantly more land in Colorado. Especially harmful to the 3rd Congressional District, the NDAA even included Rep. This version of the bill included provisions to draft our daughters, implement red flag laws, create a mandatory $15 minimum wage for DoD contractors, and establish an “Office of Countering Extremism” within the military.

23 was a leftist wish list full of provisions that distract from national security and readiness. The first version of the NDAA which passed the House on Sept. This year, House Democrats tried to use the NDAA to push their woke agenda on our military.

Sadly, as a must-pass bill, lawmakers historically have attempted to tack on unrelated legislation. This is arguably the largest piece of legislation that must pass Congress every single year. One of the historically bipartisan pieces of legislation is the National Defense Authorization Act, commonly known as the NDAA. The vitriol, I’m told, is at an all-time high in the Swamp with very few things not succumbing to the partisan divide. “It never used to be this way.” I’ve heard those words from my experienced colleagues time and again since joining the House of Representatives.
