Congressman Riley M. Moore, who is a member of the House Appropriations Committee, voted \u201cYes\u201d on the bill.\n\nThe legislation provides $831.5 billion for annual military expenses, including operations and maintenance; personnel; procurement; and research, development, test, and evaluation.\n\nCongressman Moore issued the following statement:\n\n\u201cThis defense funding bill makes critical investments to rebuild our military and prioritizes lethality after years of distraction with extreme left-wing ideology. I was proud to vote \u2018Yes.\u2019\n\n\u201cThe legislation ensures a 21st-century military by modernizing our nuclear triad, investing in hypersonics, propping up the Golden Dome, and developing the next generation of fighter aircraft. It also supports our troops by providing a 3.8% pay raise for all military personnel.\n\n\u201cOur bill supports President Trump\u2019s broader strategic vision of peace through strength. With it, we\u2019re sending a clear message to our adversaries abroad: the days of prioritizing DEI trainings, drag queen shows on ships, transgender surgeries for troops, and funding abortion-related travel are over. From here on out, our sole focus is warfighting.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:40:33Z"]], "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://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases/house-passes-annual-defense-funding-bill-rep-moore-votes-yes"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1726892553269863, "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"}
