Washington,
September 10, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C.—September 10, 2025… Today, Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) voted to advance the final Fiscal Year 2026 government funding bill out of the House Appropriations Committee and issued the following statement: Congressman Womack said, “My fellow House Appropriators and I have done our job drafting and marking up all twelve bills that fund the discretionary side of our government. I want to commend my good friend Chairman Cole and all of my colleagues for completing our committee work. It’s now time for the rest of Congress to finish the job, leave Biden-Harris funding levels in the past, and pass the FY26 appropriations bills that are attuned to the current needs of the American people. This Congress has already shown it can exceed expectations and meet tough deadlines. I strongly urge my colleagues to bring that same energy and commitment to funding the government through regular order.” In March 2025, Congress passed the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act (H.R. 1968), which extended federal funding through September 30, 2025, the end of the current fiscal year. Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) has represented Arkansas’s Third Congressional District since 2011. He is a member of the House Appropriations Committee. ### |
