Hageman was chosen to be a conferee in negotiations between the House and Senate that was designed to work through differences between each chamber\u2019s version of the bill. Unfortunately, Rep. Hageman was not actually consulted on any of the areas within the jurisdiction of her assignment.\n\nRep. Hageman stated, \u201cI have refused to sign off on the NDAA as a conferee, as I was never consulted and simply handed a 3,000 page bill that I was expected to support. I am voting no on the bill because it was a bad process which has resulted in bad legislation.\n\n\u201cWhile the NDAA does not itself appropriate money, it authorizes levels for which appropriations (spending) follows. This year\u2019s topline authorization level is $886 billion \u2013 up from $858 billion in FY23. The bill also includes a clean extension of FISA through April, which is contrary to and undermines the FISA reauthorization bill recently passed by Judiciary Committee by a vote of 35-2, while making no reforms to surveillance authorities we know are being abused in violation of the 4th amendment.\n\n\u201cThe bill is remarkable in what it does not do - it does not end the Biden administration\u2019s abortion travel fund (even though it is a violation of federal law), does not include a prohibition on funding and furthering \u201cgender transition\u201d surgeries for members of the military, does not eliminate the military\u2019s chief diversity officers, does not ban drag shows at military installations, and does not counter Biden\u2019s radical green bad deal climate agenda. It also weakens the House provisions for a special Inspector General for Ukraine aid and does not include my amendment for oversight of the Ukraine lend-lease program that was passed by the House. All these items were included in the House\u2019s version of the NDAA that was passed and sent to conference for debate and discussion.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "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://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-vote-no-national-defense-authorization-act-ndaa"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4510801993310452, "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"}
