Congresswoman Kendra Horn, a member of the powerful House Armed Services Committee, was appointed as a conferee to the House-Senate conference committee on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Horn is one of only three first-term House Democrats named to this important panel.

“I am proud to be a strong voice for Oklahoma and the men and women serving at Tinker Air Force Base and at our state’s military installations,” said Congresswoman Horn. “I look forward to working with my fellow House and Senate conferees to pass a bipartisan bill that supports a strong national defense, ensures our military continues to be the strongest in the world, creates more accountability, and supports our troops.”

Congresswoman Horn led efforts during the House NDAA deliberations to support weapons systems, bolster crucial personnel support reforms that care for our service members on the battlefield and back home, raise military pay by 3.1% (the largest such pay increase in a decade), repeal the military widow’s tax, and address deplorable conditions in privatized housing at Tinker and around the country.

Congresswoman Horn also serves as the Vice Chair of the Subcommittee on Strategic Forces and as a member of the Subcommittee on Readiness.

“I am honored to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers of Congress, including fellow Oklahoman and Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman James Inhofe, to reach a bipartisan agreement,” Congresswoman Horn said.
