WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) voted in support of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a comprehensive package of legislation to support our military and national defense programs.

Kelly said. "I'm proud to support the 5.2% pay raise for our Servicemembers, which is the largest pay raise in 20 years. During a time of global uncertainty, it is imperative that we strengthen our military and support those who so bravely serve in it."
