WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) released a statement on the House national security supplemental legislation.

In his statement, Rep. August Pfluger (TX-11) expressed his stance on various national security issues. He stated, “I proudly voted to fully support Israel in defending itself against Iran and its terrorist proxies, and implement strong sanctions and policies to counter Iran, China, and Russia."

Regarding the situation in Ukraine, Pfluger revealed his conflicted feelings. He mentioned, "On Ukraine I was conflicted. I’ve seen war up close and know malign actors need to be stopped before they devour our allies. We gave the White House a roadmap earlier this year to aid Ukraine and defeat Russia. However, I could not support the approach voted on. Not as Democrats today opposed including border security and adding my LNG export provisions to the package."

Pfluger emphasized the significance of a secure border and energy independence, stating, "Show me a secure border and the Permian supplying the world the energy it needs and I’ll show you a world closer to peace and security."
