Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2023. This legislation overturns Biden\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, works to counter China, increases defense funding to keep pace with inflation, and provides a 4.6% pay raise for our servicemembers. Furthermore, Republicans in Congress were successful in eliminating many unrelated defense items from this legislation. Congresswoman Bice was successful in adding over 30 provisions to this year\u2019s NDAA. These provisions include protecting the E-3 wing at Tinker AFB, $301 million to accelerate the transition to the E-7, and $30 million for Tinker\u2019s B-21 Depot Maintenance Campus.\n\nCongresswoman Bice issued the following statement:\n\n\u201cI was thrilled to vote in support of the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act. This year\u2019s NDAA goes a long way toward supporting our combat capabilities and military readiness. Critically, this legislation repeals Biden\u2019s unlawful vaccine mandate, which was negatively affecting military retention and recruiting. I am grateful that many of my priorities and legislative initiatives, which will directly benefit our military community in Oklahoma\u2019s Fifth District, are in the final version of this bill.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:32:05Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bice.house.gov/media/press-releases/bice-applauds-passage-james-m-inhofe-ndaa"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.9053379073739052, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
