WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Max Miller (OH-07) released the following statement after voting in support of the national security supplemental appropriations bills.  

“Today I voted to strengthen America’s national security and help restore America’s leadership on the world stage, which has diminished considerably the last three years. 

History has taught us an important lesson: America is most secure when our allies are strong and our enemies are afraid. 

My primary obligation in Congress is to help protect America.  The supplemental spending bills counter the Biden administration’s weak defense policy decisions and will protect America’s national security.” 

The bills include commonsense conservative principles and: 

• Bolster the defense of Israel, our strongest ally in the Middle East, while ending U.S. funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. 
• Counter China’s aggression in the Pacific by enhancing America’s military capabilities in that region. 
• Provide funding for Ukraine, almost 80% of which is to replenish America’s military stockpiles and purchase equipment for America’s armed forces, with the portion going directly to Ukraine structured as a loan, not a blank check. 
• Increase economic sanctions against Iran and Russia. 
• Authorize sanctions against international criminal organizations and drug cartels that are poisoning our communities with fentanyl.
