I voted for the NDAA, and it passed by a vote of 351 to 66.
This week, Congress completed its work on the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill passed this afternoon, and I’ll have further comment on the overall bill, but I wanted to write to lay out my reasoning behind my votes on some of the more controversial amendments.

Today, the House voted on the Senate version of the Right to Try bill that we attempted to pass in the House back in March.
Last week, I voted against the Agriculture and Nutrition Act of 2018, better known as the Farm Bill. I suspect this bill will come back, and I hope that we’re able to make it a better bill in the process. Part of what was occurring here was also about leverage with regard to a vote on immigration...and that debate is still up in the air as well.
