Dixon Criticizes Rep. Gary Palmer's Support of NDAA

From the Dixon campaign

Hueytown, AL — Case Dixon, Republican candidate for Alabama's Sixth Congressional District, issued a statement today raising concerns following House passage of the latest National Defense Authorization Act. Dixon argued that the bill reflects a growing disconnect between Washington and the economic realities facing American families.

"My opponent, Representative Gary Palmer, has once again aligned himself with legislation that expands spending and foreign commitments — promoting the bill publicly and voting for it without addressing its flaws."

The NDAA authorizes over $900 billion in spending and directs additional taxpayer resources overseas, including funds for Ukraine, Taiwan, the Baltic states, Israel, and the Philippines. It also preserves authorizations for continued U.S. involvement in regions such as Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon. Dixon noted that these priorities come at a time when Americans are facing sustained inflation, rising costs of living, and a national debt that now exceeds $38 trillion.

"Families in Alabama are not seeing the benefits of these massive spending bills," Dixon said. "They are seeing higher grocery bills, higher insurance premiums, and more uncertainty about their financial future. Congress should be focused on easing those burdens, not expanding foreign commitments and adding hundreds of billions to the tab."

Dixon also highlighted the absence of key reforms Republican leadership had promised would be included in the final legislation, including closing the loophole that could allow a future administration to pursue a central bank digital currency. He said the omission raises serious questions about transparency and whether leadership is delivering the policy changes it has pledged to conservative voters.

"As Republicans, we should be advancing fiscal discipline, limited government, and policies that put the American people first," Dixon added. "This bill does not reflect those priorities, and voters are right to expect better."

Dixon emphasized that the growing frustration among conservatives and working families stems from a desire for representatives who are willing to confront entrenched spending habits and restore trust in the legislative process.

Case Dixon is running in Alabama’s 6th Congressional District to challenge Palmer in the GOP primary on May 19.
