James, Bipartisan Coalition of Michigan House Members Send Letter to House and Senate Appropriators Regarding Funding F-15EXs for Selfridge
Washington, DC,
December 6, 2023
Contact: Noah Sadlier Today, Representative John James (MI-10) and a bipartisan coalition of Michigan House members sent a letter to House and Senate Appropriators with regard to funding levels of F-15EXs to be sent to Selfridge Air National Guard Base in FY24 Defense Appropriations. “Despite our slim House majority, I was able to secure $122.6 million for procurement of F-15EXs to Selfridge in the House Defense Appropriations bill this year. The Senate was unable to mirror that funding level, but Michigan’s House delegation is united in bringing a new fighter mission to Selfridge Air National Guard Base. I look forward to continuing to work with appropriators to advocate for this funding level, and to ultimately bring a new fighter mission to Selfridge. Michigan’s 10th Congressional District elected a battle-tested fighter to fight for them, and that’s exactly what I plan on doing.” ### |
