Remarks

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume and I thank my good friend Judge Carter for yielding me time.

I rise today in support of this important piece of legislation.

Prioritizing veterans and troops says everything about our values—and that’s exactly what this first FY26 bill does.

The Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act is a testament to caring for those who’ve selflessly worn America’s uniform, their families, and the defenders who follow their path of service.

Remarks

I am honored to present the FY26 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill to the House today. This bill supports our troops, their families and the nation’s veterans. 

The bill includes nearly $18 billion for military construction efforts. It is critical that our servicemembers and their families have the infrastructure and support they need. This bill delivers to construct and improve military housing, child care centers, and other quality of life components that are so important to those that risk so much.
