John Deere, Garmin, and Philips may have undermined military right to repair

Lobbying reports reveal that John Deere, Garmin, Philips, and other companies spent nearly $2 million lobbying on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which included military right-to-repair provisions. These lobbying efforts likely contributed to Congress removing the Warrior Right to Repair Act provisions from the defense bill in late 2025. Senator Elizabeth Warren vows to continue pushing for military right-to-repair legislation despite the setback.
