ARRINGTON: Securing Record Investment in Dyess Air Force Base | U.S. Representative Jodey Arrington

Evidence

Roll Call 175 recorded H.R. 8469 as a yea-and-nay vote on passage for a FY2027 military construction and Department of Veterans Affairs appropriations bill. The vote passed 400-15, and Jodey Arrington, Republican of Texas, voted Yea.

Arrington took a concrete same-term vote for a bill funding military construction and veterans programs. This is evidence of serious action toward the warfighter/veteran/defense-mission commitment, but House passage alone is not final enactment.

The committee report includes $160,000,000 for B-21 related infrastructure and facilities at Dyess Air Force Base, plus a $4,500,000 Dyess gate-repairs design project attributed to Arrington. It also recommends $450,288,099,000 for the Department of Veterans Affairs for FY2027 and advance veterans medical-care appropriations.

The bill content directly addresses Dyess/Big Country defense infrastructure and veterans support. Because the latest concrete action found was House action rather than enacted law, it supports partial progress rather than full delivery.

The House passed H.R. 8469 on May 15, 2026; Arrington voted yea on the FY2027 military construction and veterans affairs appropriations bill.

Same-term congressional action toward the promise: Arrington supported House passage of the bill funding military construction and VA programs. This is serious progress, but it is not final enactment.

The committee report included $160 million for Dyess Air Force Base B-21 infrastructure and a $4.5 million Dyess gate-repairs design line item attributed to Arrington.

The committee bill directly funds Big Country defense infrastructure at Dyess and shows concrete same-term action consistent with the promise to keep fighting for defense mission needs.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Arrington took same-term, concrete legislative action toward the promise by voting for House passage of the FY2027 military construction and VA appropriations bill, which included Dyess Air Force Base infrastructure funding and veterans support. That shows real effort and partial fulfillment, but the evidence stops at House passage and committee action, not final enacted delivery, so the promise is not fully fulfilled.

partial same_term A for effort

Arrington took same-term federal legislative action toward the promise by voting for House passage of H.R. 8469, a FY2027 Military Construction and VA appropriations bill that included veterans funding and Dyess Air Force Base/Big Country defense infrastructure, including projects attributed to him. However, the evidence shows House passage and committee-report funding, not final enactment into law, so the promised outcome was materially advanced but not fully delivered.
