Dennis A. Ross (R-FL-15), Senior Deputy Majority Whip today released the following statement after voting against the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2015. “After speaking with local veterans and military leaders in my community, I cannot vote for reduced benefits and a reduction in a pay raise for our service members. The FY 15 NDAA presents a troubling dilemma for me and my colleagues. There needs to be a proper balance of military compensation, training and equipment but this NDAA does not meet that requirement. Instead, it decreases the military pay raise I helped to pass earlier this year, and puts additional burdens on our service members and their families through increased prescription drug costs. We already ask our military to make incredible sacrifices for the security of our nation. We must look at other areas of the budget before we put more of a financial burden on our war heroes. “Our men and women in uniform courageously put their lives on the line for our country. Asking them to sacrifice anymore is unacceptable.” ### f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
