"I am honored to have been selected to advocate on behalf of our military servicemembers, including those at MacDill Air Force Base, as we work to ensure the final passage of the National Defense Authorization Act," said Rep. Laurel Lee. "It is crucial that we fully fund our military to equip them with the tools and resources they need to protect our nation from the growing threats posed by our foreign adversaries. I would like to thank Speaker McCarthy for this opportunity to represent our nation's heroes and I look forward to working tirelessly to create a bipartisan defense bill that will promote Florida's 15th District's military priorities."

"The men and women who serve in uniform make sacrifices for our nation every day, and they deserve advocates in Congress who understand the importance of supporting our military. I'm proud to have such qualified leaders representing the House on the NDAA Conference Committee. This important committee is charged with ensuring our Department of Defense is focused on keeping America safe, cutting wasteful spending, combatting woke policies, and defending against our adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party," said House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
