Rep. Troy E. Nehls Honors DJ Daniel Greetings! I wanted to take a moment to share with you a recap on what happened this week in Texas' 22nd District and the United States House of Representatives. This Week in Washington Rep. Troy E. Nehls Honors DJ Daniel I took to the House Floor this week to honor a brave young man from Houston, Texas, named DJ Daniel. DJ was diagnosed with terminal brain and spine cancer when he was eight years old, has undergone eleven brain surgeries, and has spent nearly half his life battling cancer. He has been sworn in by 743 law enforcement agencies in the country. DJ has made a tremendous impact on many across the nation and is a shining example of what makes Texas great. After my speech, he received a standing ovation from both Republicans and Democrats. May God bless DJ and his family. Rep. Troy E. Nehls Votes Against NDAA This week, I voted against the FY23 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This year’s defense bill is a perfect reminder of why Washington is broken. For starters, the bill includes $800 million in additional Ukraine funding with no oversight. We requested an audit on the billions we’ve already given Ukraine, and the Democrats refused. Additionally, although the vaccine mandate for military members was stripped from the bill, it does not go far enough. We must rehire these heroes with mandatory backpay. I voted no because I believe our nation’s troops and taxpayers deserve better. LAST WEEK'S POLL QUESTION RESULTS Do you agree with LA County reinstating indoor mask mandates?
