Washington, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after voting in support of a waiver to permit General Lloyd Austin to be confirmed as Secretary of Defense:
“In 2017, a bipartisan majority in the House approved the same waiver when General Mattis was nominated to serve as President Trump’s Defense Secretary.
