U.S. Rep. Barry Moore says he’s fighting to ensure the U.S. military is well-prepared and trained for any future global conflicts.

In doing so, the Congressman from Enterprise believes it will be necessary to codify President Trump’s recent executive order banning transgender individuals from military service.

On Wednesday, Moore and several Republican colleagues in the House brought forward the Readiness Over Wokeness Act to make that possible.

“The American people deserve a fighting force that is capable and prepared at any moment to address and deter risks to our nation,” said Moore (R-Enterprise).  “Serving in the military requires the ability to sustain high mental and physical standards. Transgender people have medical, surgical, and mental health concerns that limit their ability to sustain these standards.”

“I am proud to introduce this bill to codify President Trump’s Executive Order to ensure the woke insanity that occurred under the Biden Administration no longer compromises our military strength and readiness.”

Cosponsors for the legislation include Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13), Harriet Hageman (WY-AL), Warren Davidson (OH-08), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14), and Andrew Clyde (GA-09).
