U.S. House Passes All Twelve Appropriations Bills

Last week, I proudly voted to advance the final set of FY26 appropriations bills, including Defense, Homeland Security, Transportation, and Labor-HHS. These bills deliver on House Republicans’ commitment to peace through strength, securing the border, rebuilding America’s infrastructure, and putting our nation back on a healthier fiscal path.

Americans sent us here to fix Washington — and this is how it gets done. The naysayers said it couldn’t be done, but they were wrong. With this vote, the House completed all 12 appropriations bills through regular order for the first time in years, fully funding the government at lower levels than a continuing resolution and replacing Biden-era spending with Trump-era policies.

I’m proud of Speaker Mike Johnson’s steady leadership in restoring regular order and fiscal sanity for the American people.

As colder temperatures move into Southeast Texas, I encourage everyone to take the necessary precautions to stay safe over the next few days. Warming centers and helpful winter safety resources are available at open.texas.gov/winter, and you can check real-time road conditions at drivetexas.org before traveling.

Please limit unnecessary travel, bring pets indoors, and check on neighbors, especially seniors and those who may need assistance. Let’s look out for one another and stay safe during this winter weather.
