Funding

There is millions of dollars left on the table that families and kids need.

The President has asked for increased funding for the Wage and Hour Division.

This bipartisan bill would modify and provide additional funding for the REAP program...

So which is it? For all my colleagues, do you want your priorities funded or not?

Virginia has already received nearly $8 million in funding that goes directly to farmers across our Commonwealth.

It will if it is adequately funded.

I was also very excited to see that 100 percent of the obligated IRA dollars made it into the hands of farmers in Illinois.

I continue to implore my Democratic colleagues to think in earnest about these priorities, priorities that can be funded without cutting a SNAP benefit.

Election administrators have told us time and time again in hearings that they need additional funding to run safe and secure elections.

I appreciate the willingness to work together. I feel like removing section 5 would undermine our efforts to find adequate funding, but--so I would prefer to leave it in.

So when we talk about withdrawing UNRWA feeds Hamas, that is not factual because right now, by continuing the funding of UNRWA, we actually are feeding Hamas.

The lack of adequate funding for tribal forestry impacts public safety

I would note that in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law we had $116 million that was going to advance the work.

Making clear to the Congress... the unique funding needs and challenges

Cutting agency funding, as proposed in their appropriation legislation, won't help.

That legislation transformed Congress' approach to child welfare by moving away from the historic practice of providing funding solely after a child entered foster care.

For years the military departments have chosen to take risk by underfunding facilities sustainment accounts and barracks have been hit particularly hard by this risk-taking.

The better use of our time today if members focus on funding the government, improving school infrastructure, closing academic achievement gaps, and confronting other serious challenges facing children, educators, and families.
