House Republicans Advance 2024 Defense Funding Bill That Divides, Reduces Readiness Rather Than Secures

Press Release

"Republicans are seeking to reverse bipartisan policies to have equality for women and to make it uncomfortable for LGBTQ+ Americans to serve in the military. The Republican 2024 defense funding bill would cut funding for readiness and climate change programs critical for our national security and fails to support our men and women in the armed services. Fostering an environment where every American who would willingly put their lives on the line to protect and serve this nation feels they are welcomed and supported should not be controversial. This bill is a non-starter that fails to meet the agreement signed into law. I urge my colleagues to focus on the end goal of funding our government rather than pushing messaging bills that have no future."
