Today, U.S. Representative Angie Craig released the following statement on her vote to override the President's veto of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act:

"By vetoing the bipartisan NDAA last week, the President chose to prioritize his own political interests over our national security. In doing so, he denied our service members a hard-earned pay raise, blocked paid family leave for countless federal employees and prevented Minnesota veterans from getting the care they deserve. Today, I'm proud to cast my vote to override this senseless stunt -- and to give our armed forces the resources they need to keep us safe in the year to come."
