Steel. “At a time when the Chinese Communist Party continues to threaten Taiwan’s security, it is crucial for America to stand up for the values of freedom and democracy and against the CCP’s campaign of aggression. I’m proud to be a strong and effective voice for defending Taiwan and promoting stability in the region, which was reflected by the inclusion of my legislation in the NDAA.” The House version of the NDAA boosts salaries for members of the military, including a nearly 20% pay raise for junior enlisted servicemembers. The legislation also takes steps to counter Communist China’s espionage campaign while increasing support for Israel amidst their battle with Hamas. https://steel.house.gov/media/press-releases/steels-taiwan-security-act-passes-us-house
