Kay Granger: “Women have a larger presence in our military today than ever before…”

On the recordJune 27, 2018

Women have a larger presence in our military today than ever before, with more than 200,000 women serving in Active-Duty military. Women serve as leaders in all jobs and in all branches of the military. Women have served in every conflict from the American Revolution to the current war on terror. From their early days as cooks and nurses to the combat roles they fulfill today, the roles of women have evolved with the military. So I am pleased to support this amendment, which will continue to further the growth of our 21st century women warfighters. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

I am disappointed by the Department's fiscal year 2023 budget request. Inflation continues to increase costs for all sections--sectors--and the defense industry is not immune to its effects.

Republicans are working on policies that will grow and strengthen our economy. We will also find ways to reduce spending without impacting our Nation's defense, our commitment to our veterans, or the services that Americans depend upon.
