Betty McCollum: “The sum of what you both said is, we need to be prepared for today and ready for tomorrow and putting our people first.”

I think the administration and the Congress need to figure out how to get these dollars out.

I urge the Republican House Majority to stop bringing these harmful and nonsensical attacks on our public health and the environment to the House floor.

The American people just want to afford the basic necessities for everyday life, but this administration is not doing anything to help them with the cost of living crisis.

I rise in support of the FY2026 Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act.
