Rep. Vargas Statement on Voting Against the National Defense Authorization Act

WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Representative Juan Vargas (CA-52) voted against passing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025.

“House Republicans have chosen yet again to fill the historically bipartisan NDAA with poison pills. Instead of focusing on helping our troops and military families, this bill prohibits funding from being used to combat climate change and attacks reproductive health care, diversity and inclusion initiatives, and LGBTQI+ rights. I can't support legislation that puts partisan politics over the needs and wellbeing of our servicemembers and their families.”
