Representative French Hill

Dear Friend,

Please join me tonight at 6:35 PM CT, for a Tele-Townhall. I will be speaking directly with central Arkansans about issues that are important to you including the ongoing crisis at our southwest border and the Biden Administration’s out of control tax and spending spree.

If you don’t receive a call from me around 6:35 PM, you can participate by dialing 855-859-7298 or online by watching live on my Facebook page.

HOUSE INCLUDES MY PROVISIONS IN ANNUAL DEFENSE BILL, INCREASES SERVICEMEMBER PAY

I take very seriously my duty to serve and support those who defend our nation, which is why I was pleased to support this year's defense bill prioritizing the safety of all Americans and our servicemembers and their families, especially at the Little Rock Air Force Base in central Arkansas.

House Republicans successfully increased the funding in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to ensure a 2.7% pay increase for all servicemembers, to hold the administration accountable for the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan to fund needed upgrades and expansions in our military equipment, and to counter our adversaries such as Iran, Russia, and China.

I was also pleased that two provisions I authored were included in this year's NDAA. The SAVE Act, which will diversify America's medical supply chain and make us less dependent on foreign manufacturers, and a provision to disrupt and dismantle the Assad regime's illicit narcotic production and trafficking in Syria.

STANDING WITH ISRAEL

Last week, I spoke on the House floor in support of Israel and the Iron Dome. Israel is our key economic, diplomatic, and military ally in the region, and we owe it to our ally to do what we can to keep them safe. The Iron Dome is one of the most successful military and technology partnerships in the world and has saved countless innocent lives – both Israeli and Palestinian.

It is a shame that my Democratic colleagues attempted to strip out funding for the Iron Dome and I am relieved we were able to retain the necessary funding for our allies overseas.

CONWAY AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Throughout the week, my staff and I met with the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce and other local leaders. I spoke with leaders within the community and learned more about all of the exciting things planned for Conway and the surrounding region. We also discussed grant opportunities for businesses within the community, and my role in helping the community grow and flourish.
