Congressman Langworthy Votes to Support U.S. Troops and Defend National Security

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) voted to pass the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024.

“This year’s NDAA makes historic progress to reinforce the strength of our military and protect our national security in the face of the Biden Administration’s efforts to reduce its capabilities and lull our country into complacency,” said Rep. Langworthy. “We cannot have peace through strength without staying alert and ensuring that our men and women in uniform—who make up the strongest military on the face of the earth—have the resources and support they deserve.”
