House Endorses Wagner Bill to Hold Russia Accountable for War in Ukraine

Statement

Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-MO) released the following statement after she voted in support of the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act.

"I was proud to vote in support of the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), legislation that will strengthen our national security and fully support the members of our military who put their lives on the line for our freedoms. My Isolate Russian Government Officials Act, legislation that excludes Russian Government Officials from major financial and intergovernmental forums, as well as my legislation to honor Ulysses S. Grant, were approved in the final package. I also fought to include eight Super Hornet planes made here in St. Louis that will support thousands of local jobs. This NDAA also has my bipartisan and bicameral DEFEND Act, legislation that will help combat Iranian aggression and support our allies in the Middle East with an integrated air and missile defense system.
