Congresswoman Ramirez Statement on NDAA Vote
Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03) released the following statement:
“As expected, Republicans did not honor the bipartisan deal for the National Defense Authorization Act and instead resorted to partisan poison pills and bigoted fear-mongering. The bill brought to the floor today was packed with extreme, despicable, destructive policy positions. Republicans used this process to deprive women, LGBTQ+, migrants, and other minority servicemembers of care; strike critical environmental rules; criminally cut humanitarian aid; dangerously militarize our border; and bloat the already inflated, totally unaccountable defense budget.
I voted HELL NO.”
