Congressman Ronny Jackson (TX-13) issued the following statement last week in response to the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act’s (NDAA) passage in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Due to Jackson’s efforts, several provisions were included in the bill that will ensure substantial benefits for Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, the Pantex Plant in Amarillo, and the thriving defense-focused workforce within Texas’ Thirteenth Congressional District.
“The NDAA is one of the most important bills that comes before Congress,” Jackson said. “As a former Navy Rear Admiral, I know the vital role this legislation plays for our national security. Not only does this year’s bill ensure we have the weapons systems and equipment our servicemembers need, it makes a needed course correction to restore the military’s focus to fighting and winning wars.
“Provisions that I successfully included will keep Texas’ Thirteenth Congressional District at the heart of supporting our military, provide historic pro-life protections, and prohibit funds from going towards the Biden administration’s harmful diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.”
Jackson serves on the House Armed Services Committee and spoke on the House Floor in favor of the FY24 NDAA.
