Congressman Mike Johnson from Louisiana’s 4th Congressional District got some good news on November 17th, when a bill was passed that gave military members their largest pay raise in 8 years. Along with the significant pay raise, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) also includes reforms for Pentagon spending and increased funding to essential military readiness recovery.
The NDAA passed the House of Representatives with a vote of 356 to 70 and passed in the Senate with a verbal vote.
