Remarks

Thank you, Chairman Valadao, Ranking Member Espaillat, Ranking Member DeLauro, and all our members. 

We’ve had a busy FY26 appropriations schedule this week, and we are rounding it out with a markup for a bill fundamental to those duties. 

The Legislative Branch measure is central to our democracy. It supports the operations of this House on behalf of the American people and provides resources to help our constituents.

It is my pleasure to present the FY26 Legislative Branch Appropriations Bill and report for your consideration today. I appreciate the opportunity to work once again with Ranking Member Espaillat and the minority staff throughout the FY26 process. I’d also like to thank Chairman Cole and Ranking Member DeLauro for their continued leadership. 

We received a record number of requests from our colleagues and the Members present today, and we had the pleasure of accommodating items from both sides of the aisle in a bipartisan manner.

Remarks

Thank you, Chairman Valadao, and thank you to Ranking Member Espaillat, Ranking Member DeLauro, and to all the members of the subcommittee for being with us today.

I’d like to begin by associating myself with all of Chairman Valadao’s opening statements. 

Violence has no place in our nation – not in our politics, not in our communities, and not in our values.

The targeted attacks in Minnesota were heartbreaking and deeply disturbing. We stand with the victims, their families, and all those affected as they face this difficult time.
