Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) voted in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2027. This legislation authorizes funding for military capabilities, personnel policies, industrial-base reforms, and national security priorities needed to keep America safe. After voting in favor of the NDAA, Congressman Cole released the following statement:
"During this time when our nation is facing the most dangerous threat environment in generations, protecting our nation's defense is critical. Today, I cast my vote to do exactly that. The Fiscal Year 2027 NDAA increases pay for our selfless men and women in uniform, revitalizes American military strength, restores lethal capabilities, and strengthens deterrence by implementing President Trump's peace through strength agenda - all while at the same time eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse at the Pentagon," said Congressman Cole. "Through passing the NDAA on the House Floor today, Republicans sent this very clear message to the rest of the world: our warfighters have the weapons to win, and our adversaries should stay in their lane."
