Press Releases

Today, Congressman Nathaniel Moran (TX-01) voted for the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27 NDAA) to strengthen and support America’s military. This bipartisan bill authorizes spending for national defense, delivers a pay raise for servicemembers, rebuilds America’s defense industrial base, and strengthens deterrence capabilities against China and other adversaries. 

“Our men and women in uniform deserve a military that is ready, capable, and dominant,” said Rep. Moran. “This year’s NDAA strengthens our arsenal, delivers real relief on pay and housing for our troops and their families, and roots out waste so every dollar goes toward protecting America at home and abroad. Investing in our military is how we stand firm against our adversaries.”

Key provisions in the FY27 NDAA:

Revitalizing the Defense Industrial Base

• Expands U.S. production capacity, unleashes private sector investment, opens the door to new and innovative entrants, reduces needless regulations, and creates thousands of skilled jobs for Americans.

Implementing President Trump’s Agenda

• Carries out the President’s commitment to build a ready, capable, and lethal fighting force by advancing over 65 Executive Orders and Legislative Proposals and by fully authorizing his top defense priorities.

Improving Servicemembers’ Quality of Life

• Fulfills the President’s request to raise all servicemembers’ pay by 5 to 7% and improves housing, education, and access to childcare for military families.

Restoring Lethal Capabilities

• Enables the replenishment of stockpiles by providing the authorities and resources required to expedite the production and acquisition of munitions and key warfighting capabilities. 

• Accelerates the fielding of critical technologies like quantum computing, hypersonics, and autonomous systems.

Strengthening American Deterrence

• Prioritizes investment in the forces and capabilities needed to maintain a strong U.S. posture. 

• Strengthens nuclear deterrence, expands missile defense, and targets resources and authorities to counter adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. 

Eliminating Waste, Fraud, and Abuse

• Builds on progress made in FY26 to streamline Department of War operations and cut nearly $30 billion in wasteful programs. 

• Stands up a new task force and provides new authorities to eliminate fraudulent payments and achieve a full and clean audit within 24 months.

This legislation also maintains the Red River Army Depot Component Rebuild Shop authorization, ensuring significant investment in our future military’s capabilities.
