I will do my best to ensure our military has what they need to keep us safe and protect our way of life
Will ensure the military has what it needs to keep Americans safe and protect the country's way of life.
Occurrences
Evidence
Womack’s defense issue page says he is a 30-year Army National Guard veteran and pledges to ensure the military has what it needs to keep Americans safe and protect the country’s way of life; it also says he will work to give the military the tools it needs to complete its mission.
The House Clerk lists Womack as serving on the Committee on Appropriations, including the Defense subcommittee, showing he held a position directly involved in funding the military.
On June 14, 2024, the House passed the Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, and the roll call shows Womack voted Aye.
On September 10, 2025, the House passed the Streamlining Procurement for Effective Execution and Delivery and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, and the roll call shows Womack voted No on final passage after the measure had advanced through earlier votes that day.
Assessments
The promise is broad and ongoing rather than a discrete deliverable. Womack remained in federal office after the 2016 campaign, served on Appropriations including the Defense subcommittee, and supported at least one major defense authorization measure, which shows relevant same-term action toward ensuring military resources. However, the evidence does not show that he personally authored, sponsored, or materially secured a specific completed outcome sufficient to treat the whole promise as delivered, and later mixed NDAA voting further limits a full-delivery finding.
