| https://hill.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=10267 | RELEASE: HILL VOTES TO STRENGTHEN AMERICA'S MILITARY READINESS | 2026-07-22 | 2026 | 2026-07 | Republican | House | AR | J. French Hill | H001072 | hill.house.gov | hill | https://hill.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | Today, Rep. French Hill (AR-02) voted for H.R. 8800, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2027, which passed the House by a vote of 216-212. The bipartisan bill supports our military personnel and families, strengthens our national defense, modernizes our military capabilities, and includes four amendments introduced by or cosponsored by Rep. Hill, three of which will directly benefit the Arkansas National Guard. Rep. Hill said, “It is critical that Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran have no doubt about the lethality of the United States military or our ability to project power anywhere in the world. This NDAA advances peace through strength by restocking critical munitions, strengthening defense supply chains, and accelerating weapons production. It also raises pay for the men and women who wear the uniform and invests in the technologies that will define tomorrow's battlefield. It redirects billions from lower-priority spending to our warfighting mission and eliminates distractions that have nothing to do with winning wars. This bill ensures our military has what it needs to deter our adversaries and defend American interests around the globe. “I am also proud that several of my priorities were included in this year’s NDAA to support our Guardsmen in central Arkansas.” Background: H.R. 8800, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027, authorizes $1.15 trillion in national defense discretionary spending. The bill revitalizes the defense industrial base, revives the organic industrial base, provides the certainty industry needs to expand capacity, and grows and develops the defense industrial workforce. It advances small business participation in the defense industrial base, secures our supply chains, furthers acquisition reform, and improves collaboration on data rights. The legislation also raises pay for all servicemembers by 5 to 7 percent and improves housing, education, and childcare access for military families. Rep. Hill’s Amendments and Priorities: | 1 | 2026-07-23T07:31:02Z | 2026-07-23T07:32:26Z |
