HighRep.

He has also identified healthcare cost reduction as a key policy goal and expressed disappointment regarding the growing deficit and national debt, emphasizing the need for fiscal responsibility.
“I’m proud to have voted in favor of the House’s passage of the FY26 NDAA today. This legislation is critical to modernizing our military, spurring innovation and restoring deterrence towards our adversaries abroad. Additionally, this bill cuts red tape to make our acquisitions process more agile and rebuild our domestic defense industrial base so that we can ensure we can deliver the cutting edge systems to the American warfighter. Importantly, this bill also puts our servicemembers and their families first with a 3.8 percent payraise and improved access to benefits like healthcare, schools and housing. The U.S. faces the most serious threat environment from near-peer adversaries since the end of the Cold War, and the FY26 NDAA is what is needed for our military to prevail.”
