John J. McGuire III Republican
“I want the House to pass this military funding bill. It rebuilds our ability to make weapons and supports nuclear power and manufacturing jobs in my district.”
“Mr. Chairman, I thank Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member Smith for their leadership. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of this historic National Defense Authorization Act. In the Navy, we used to say: The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war. For decades, our Defense Industrial Base was allowed to decay, but thanks to President Trump, our Secretary of War, and this Armed Services Committee, we are finally turning the ship around. This bill supercharges our industrial base and builds on last year’s acquisition reforms. For Virginia’s Fifth District, this bill unleashes local expertise in munitions manufacturing and next-generation nuclear power. We wouldn’t have a country without our men and women in uniform. We owe them the best we have. Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to support this bill.”
