REP. Hoyle Statement on Voting Against Irresponsible Military Spending

December 11, 2025 REP. HOYLE STATEMENT ON VOTING AGAINST IRRESPONSIBLE MILITARY SPENDING WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Val Hoyle (OR-04) released the following statement after she voted against allowing more unchecked Pentagon spending in the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) yesterday evening: “I voted no on the NDAA as this legislation enables more irresponsible military spending, adding a staggering $8 billion on top of the almost $900 billion in funding initially requested by President Trump. I will not vote to fund an agency that has failed the last 7 audits while shoveling money to private contractors with little oversight. The American taxpayers deserve transparency and accountability, and this bill offers neither.” ### Print Email Share Tweet
