Cole Welcomes Rep. Jefferson Shreve to Appropriations Committee

Washington, D.C. – Today, Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) announced the Republican Steering Committee's recommendation for Congressman Jefferson Shreve (R-IN) to join the House Appropriations Committee. He will be officially added to the roster following the adoption of a resolution on the House floor tomorrow. 

Chairman Tom Cole said, “I am very pleased to welcome Congressman Jefferson Shreve to our esteemed roster of members. His appointment comes at a pivotal moment as we prepare to begin our FY27 markup season. I am confident he will bring strong conservative leadership to our work – reinforcing fiscal discipline, rigorous oversight, and the America First priorities our bills are built on. As one of the most fundamental constitutional duties of Congress, the power of the purse demands careful stewardship and deliberate action. Rep. Shreve brings that commitment, along with valuable expertise in business, economic growth, and agriculture. Together, I know we will continue advancing legislation that reflects the priorities of our constituents, strengthens our nation, and ensures government is accountable to the American people. Indiana’s Sixth Congressional District and the nation will be well served by his voice on the House Appropriations Committee."

Representative Jefferson Shreve said, “It is an honor to join the House Committee on Appropriations. The committee has a long-standing history of careful stewardship of taxpayer dollars and rigorous oversight of federal spending. As the first Indiana Republican to serve on this committee in thirty years, I’m ready to go to work for Hoosiers. I’m grateful for Chairman Cole’s trust and leadership.”
