“Turning our backs on the men and women in uniform who sacrifice so much for our country is not an option. At a time of escalating threats at home and abroad, we must ensure that our military has the resources they need to fulfill their missions and keep the American people safe. This bipartisan legislation also takes important steps to improve military benefits, support our military families, reduce wasteful spending, and other commonsense reforms to strengthen our national defense capabilities,” said Walberg.
Congressman Walberg serves on the House Education and the Workforce Committee as Chair of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee. In addition, he serves on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. For more information on Walberg’s work in Congress visit walberg.house.gov.
