Washington, DC— Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) voted in support of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies legislation that passed out of the House Appropriations Committee on June 13. This bill exceeds the Department of Defense’s MILCON budget request and secures key defense priorities, including $75.5 million for three Ebbing Air National Guard Base projects, full funding for veterans’ health, and robust investments in the Pacific region.
Congressman Womack said, “Arkansas’ Third has a long history of supporting our defenders, and this year’s Military Construction and Veterans Affairs bill continues this legacy. It secures critical funding for Ebbing Air National Guard Base construction in support of the critical FMS mission that will soon bring the sound of freedom to Fort Smith. We also salute our nation’s veterans by fully funding their care and benefits in this bill. Bolstering our national security capabilities in the district and across the country remains a top priority of mine in Congress.”
Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) has represented Arkansas’s Third Congressional District since 2011. He is a member of the House Appropriations Committee.
