Statement

Date: Nov. 5, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Defense Government Budget and Spending

Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) released the following statement encouraging President Obama to swiftly support the FY16 National Defense Authorization Act:

"Our men and women in uniform carry an incredible responsibility to defend our national security. It's our government's chief responsibility to guarantee they have the tools, resources and authorities needed to carry out their missions, and today's measure honors that obligation. While this legislation is not perfect, it is a step in the right direction to address the growing threats we face in a cost-efficient, responsible way. President Obama vetoed the last NDAA to use our troops as leverage to borrow and spend more money on his liberal agenda. This responsible NDAA offers the president a second chance to put politics aside and do the right thing."
