U.S. Representative Mike Bost (IL-12) last night joined the majority of House members in passing the Fiscal Year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The legislation provides a pay increase for our men and women in uniform, reverses President Biden's defense spending cuts, and funds the deployment of the National Guard to protect America's border with Mexico.

"Our servicemembers swore an oath to protect our nation, and it is Congress's solemn duty to provide them with the resources they need to successfully complete their missions," said Bost. "As a Marine and the representative for over 22,000 men and women who live or work at Scott Air Force Base, I was proud to vote to provide our servicemembers with the full resources they deserve. Now more than ever, the United States must show strength in the face of foreign adversaries that wish to do us harm. To do that, we must fully fund our military."
