Palmer Votes in Favor of NDAA

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Gary Palmer (AL-06) released the following statement today after voting in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA):

"It is critical that we continue to fund and strengthen our military, especially at this crucial time when China in particular is an ever-growing threat," Palmer said. "This legislation is substantially different from the bill that passed in the House earlier this year. It will aid instead of bring harm to our troops, and it provides needed stability for our military. There is obviously still room for some reforms, such as maintaining instead of eliminating the Chief Management Officer position and evading budget caps through OCO, but these aspects are insufficient to warrant opposition."

The NDAA passed the House today by a vote of 335-78.
