Today, July 14, 2022, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-02) released the following statement after voting YES on H.R. 7900, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023.

“Ensuring that our military is properly equipped is one of Congress’ top priorities. This bipartisan bill focuses on investment and modernization to meet the threat from China, increases servicemember pay by 4.6%, and provides $37 billion more in funding over the President’s budget request,” said Miller-Meeks. “I was pleased to see provisions I fought for were included in this package, including my bipartisan provision on dependents of long-term visa holders, the VA Same-Day Scheduling Act, the National Digital Reserve Corps Act , and the Aviator Cancers Examination Study Act. I look forward to working with my colleagues to get this legislation to the President’s desk.”
