Alsobrooks to VOTE NO on Advancing 2027 NDAA

July 14, 2026 WASHINGTON, DC – Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) released the following statement ahead of voting “No” on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act. “Maryland is home to thousands of servicemembers, veterans, and civilians who work every day to protect our nation’s national security. I am proud of the wins I secured in this legislation for them and their service to this nation. However, I cannot overlook that this bill authorizes over $1 trillion, which will continue to enable this President to take America deeper into a war with Iran that Congress has voted in a bipartisan and bicameral way to end. This war continues to rage on against the will of Congress and the American People. It remains clear this President has no plan to get us out of this war. All the while, hardworking Americans are paying for it at the gas pump and at their grocery stores. “I am voting no on the National Defense Authorization Act today. War is always paid for by hardworking Americans. We cannot afford this.” ###
