Womack Remarks at FY26 Transportation and Housing and Urban Development Member Day Hearing

The subcommittee will come to order. Good morning, and welcome to this year’s Member Day hearing. Today, we welcome our colleagues to testify on their priorities for the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Transportation for Fiscal Year 2026.

Member engagement is key to the appropriations process, and especially important for our bill, because every district has housing and transportation assets. 

As a former Mayor, I value the local perspective from districts nationwide. That’s why I am looking forward to hearing from our colleagues. With that, I recognize the Ranking Member, the gentleman from South Carolina, Mr. Clyburn, for any comments he has.
