Representative Aaron Bean (R-FL) has signed on to cosponsor the Pay Our Troops Act, which ensures military personnel continue to receive salaries during a government shutdown.
Late last week, Representative Cory Mills (R-FL) announced the bill in an X post, writing that “if our troops don’t get paid, neither should Congress.”
“While Democrats refuse to act in Washington, I’m focused on solutions,” Rep. Mills continued, adding that “our servicemembers make incredible sacrifices — the least we can do is make sure they aren’t caught in the crossfire of a broken budget process.”
Rep. Bean echoed the sentiment in a recent statement supporting the bill, commenting that “our nation’s warriors selflessly serve our nation. As a member of Congress, it is my solemn duty to honor their service and heroism.”
“That’s why I am proud to join my colleagues in supporting this legislation to pay our troops and ensure the men and women who are on the front lines do not suffer financial distress as a result of Washington’s dysfunction,” Rep. Bean added.
