I'll be in the district next week. And then back here in DC in the swamp the week after that. Hope everyone has having a fantastic week this week. We passed the National Defense Authorization act. This is the authorization bill to keep our military operating in the next fiscal year. And I'm proud to report again that it's including my historic pay raise for our junior enlisted folks.
