Political Quotes

“one of the reasons why I became a Republican is because of the Republican Party's consistent support for the military. Since 2000, base military pay has increased by 29 percent. Mid-grade noncommissioned officers, who represent the core experience and talent in the Armed Forces, have seen their pay increase an average of 35 percent. Congress under Republican control provided $6 billion for repair, maintenance, and operations of the military houses and bases. Congress increased the basic allowance for housing and eliminated servicemembers' out-of-pocket housing expenses, increased family separation allowance, and increased the amount for imminent danger pay. I am proud that the Republican Party stands for strong support for the military, and I am sure we will consistently support our men and women serving in dangerous places around the world and their families.”
