The House just passed the FY26 Defense Budget —and every one of my amendments made it in.

This bill delivers President Trump’s Peace through Strength agenda, strengthens our warfighters, and takes care of our military families:

✅ $831.5B for defense & intel
✅ XXX% pay raise for our troops
✅ $40.9B for DOD medical care
✅$9.6B for SOCOM ops
✅ $1.15B to counter drug cartels + more NatGuard counterdrug funding
🚫 Bans DEI, abortion travel, drag shows, COVID mandates & foreign censorship in the military

Our troops are safer, stronger, and better equipped because we delivered.
