Congressman Williams Votes for a Stronger Military

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congressman Roger Williams (R – Austin), who represents Fort Hood, one of the largest military installations in the world, voted in favor of H.R. 5515, the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, that passed the House today.

"For over 50 years, the NDAA has authorized the funding of the necessary tools our military men and women need to fight and win. In a time when our country is faced with increased threats at home and abroad, it is crucial that we equip our soldiers with adequate resources to protect this nation," said Rep. Williams. "As the representative of Fort Hood, I have fought for an NDAA that will ensure military readiness, provide our troops with a substantial pay raise, and strengthen our National Defense Strategy. This legislation will continue to incentivize innovation and the modernization of the Department of Defense, and I look forward to President Trump signing this bill into law as quickly as possible."
