Mike Garcia: “I like things like the $3 billion that goes to EDA.”

It is a game changer, absolutely.

You all know my number one priority is our troops, especially our junior enlisted, E-1 through E-6. They are the most precious, they are the most potent, and they are the most powerful weapon system that we have.

I would encourage you to look at my RAISE Act, which takes the starting salary of an E1 from $22,000 and brings it up to $31,000.

We passed a piece of legislation back in December of 2022, that was actually signed into law by the President in January of 2023 on the Active-Duty side called the Military Spouse Licensing Relief Act.
