Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Josh Brecheen voted for a conservative National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that includes several amendments to fight back against the Biden Administration’s social engineering experiment on our troops, which has led to record low military recruitment. 

The bill included Congressman Brecheen’s amendment, which would prohibit drag shows and drag queen story hours at our military bases. 

Congressman Brecheen spoke on the House floor about his amendment, which you can watch here.

“Our country depends on a lethal military capable of rising to any occasion, just as the Allied forces did 80 years ago when they stormed the beaches of Normandy. Unfortunately, the Biden Administration is more focused on promoting drag queens waving the rainbow flag in a cultural war instead of preparing a real fighting force advancing the red, white, and blue on a battlefield. Today, House Republicans are standing up for our men and women in uniform and getting liberal politics out of our military,” said Congressman Josh Brecheen. 

Other Conservative Wins Included in the NDAA:

• Prohibits Secretary of Defense from paying for or reimbursing travel for abortions (Rep. Van Duyne, Am.55)
• Prohibits TRICARE from covering and DOD from covering gender transition surgeries (Rep. Rosendale, Am.52).
• Prohibits provision of gender transition procedures through the Family Medical Program (Rep. Norman, Am.53)
• Eliminates DEI offices and personnel in DOD and Armed Forces (Rep. Norman, Am.42).
• Prohibits promotion of CRT and associated race-based theories (Rep Luna, Am.47).
• Prohibits DODEA from buying materials that are pornographic or promote radical gender ideology (Rep. Stuebe, Am.46).
• Prohibits funds from rebuilding the Gaza strip and prohibits funds for flying Palestinian refugees into the U.S. (Rep. Mast, Am.5; Rep. Arrington, Am.8).
• Prohibits mask mandates for COVID-19 on military installations in the U.S. (Rep. Ogles, Am. 51).
