Press Releases

Congressman Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s Executive Order advancing federal research into the therapeutic potential of ibogaine.

The first year of the second Trump Administration has brought back what makes America great — a secure border, a strong military, and a resilient economy. Tonight, President Trump rightfully touted these accomplishments and laid the foundation for the next three years and beyond. I look forward to building on the progress we’ve made in Congress and continuing to partner with the president on real policies that lift up our veterans, communities, and fellow Americans.

Congressman Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) announced his staff will hold mobile office hours at various locations throughout Texas’ 8th Congressional District this month to offer increased assistance to constituents experiencing problems with a federal agency.

By returning to regular order in our appropriations process, House Republicans set a clear and concrete message to the American people that we are serious about restoring fiscal responsibility and getting results. The bills secure military superiority by investing in hypersonics, modernizing the nuclear triad, and giving our service members a well-deserved 3.8% pay raise. These also provide critical infrastructure funding for Texas’ Eighth Congressional District, including dollars for new bridges and roads for our communities. I applaud not just what we’ve passed, but how we passed it — through regular order.

Today's House passage of an appropriations package represents the return to regular order that the American people demanded from the representatives.

This year’s NDAA reaffirms America’s commitment to peace through strength while delivering critical support for our servicemembers and veterans. The legislation authorizes vital funding for TBI research and advances our hypersonic capabilities. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I am proud to see this bipartisan bill’s final passage in the House.
