Washington, D.C. – Today, the House Appropriations Committee met to consider the Fiscal Year 2026 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. The measure was approved by the Committee with a vote of 35 to 28.
Thank you, Chairman Fleischmann, Ranking Member Kaptur, Ranking Member DeLauro, and to all our committee members.
Today’s measure is a cornerstone of American energy dominance and security.
We need affordable, reliable, and secure power for the nation – and the bill before us delivers it.
To drive down energy costs, restore American energy independence, and support U.S. jobs, we are advancing policies and investments that unleash the full potential of American-made energy.
This marks a critical shift.
The days of Biden-era red tape and growing reliance on foreign supply are over. In its place: a clear, America first energy strategy is being implemented—which is further reflected in this FY26 measure.
It makes historic investments to secure our energy systems and reduce reliance on foreign materials.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am pleased to present to the Committee the Fiscal Year 2026 Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies appropriations bill.
I’d like to thank Chairman Cole and Ranking Member DeLauro for their leadership throughout this process, and my good friend and Ranking Member of the Energy and Water subcommittee, Marcy Kaptur, for her partnership.
I’d also like to extend my appreciation to all my colleagues for their valuable input in helping to shape this bill.
The FY26 Energy and Water bill demonstrates our commitment to safeguarding U.S. national security, unleashing American energy dominance, and advancing our economic competitiveness—in a fiscally responsible manner. The recommendation totals $57.3 billion, a decrease of $766 million below fiscal year 2025.
