Maintain a strong military and take care of our troops both in the field and at home
I will maintain a strong military and take care of troops in the field and at home.
Occurrences
Evidence
The Clerk of the House lists Ed Case on the Committee on Appropriations, with subcommittee assignments for Defense and Homeland Security.
Case said he supported House passage of the FY 2026 Defense appropriations measure, which the release says includes $839 billion for the Department of Defense and the intelligence community.
Case reported committee approval of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies bill, which funds defense facilities, national cemeteries and battle monuments, and VA programs for veterans.
Case announced committee approval of the FY 2022 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies bill, describing funding for military construction and veterans programs including telehealth and homelessness.
Assessments
The evidence shows Case took concrete legislative actions consistent with the promise: supporting major defense appropriations, serving on defense-related appropriations subcommittees, and advancing military construction, veterans, VA, telehealth, and homelessness funding. However, the promise is broad and ongoing, and the evidence demonstrates support and partial implementation rather than a fully measurable completed outcome that proves he maintained a strong military and comprehensively took care of troops at home and in the field.
