Carter | C001125 | troycarter.house.gov | troycarter | https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-La.) voted against the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). “No one knows the importance of a strong national defense more than I do. The current version of the NDAA has been overtaken by extreme MAGA Republican poison pill amendments that will hurt our readiness and our troops. I cannot in good conscience vote for a bill that makes it impossible for women in uniform to get access to the reproductive health care they need and attacks the rights of LGBTQI+ service members and their families. “The original bipartisan NDAA that passed out of the Armed Services committee was a good bill. Instead, Republicans chose to move forward with an amendments process that advances a hateful culture war. “I greatly respect the American armed forces and am proud the spouse of a U.S. Army Brigadier General. However, voting yes for this bill would be a disservice to all members of the military and to Louisianans. I will keep fighting back against extremism that undermines our values and hurts our national security. I hope to vote for a bill that protects our country and uplifts our troops when it comes back from the Senate.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z |
