Today, Congressman Dave Joyce (OH-14) led the House Appropriations Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee in marking up the Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government, Joyce is the primary author of this funding bill.

"The Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) bill covers a broad swath of the federal government – including the Department of the Treasury, the Executive Office of the President, the Federal Judiciary, and more than 20 independent Commissions, Departments, and Agencies," said Congressman Joyce. "In drafting the Fiscal Year 2026 bill, I focused on three priorities: ensuring fiscal responsibility, leveraging new technology, and strengthening national security. These are priorities on which members on both sides of the aisle should agree and support."

House Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole added that "this legislation provides important resources for agencies and offices that impact every American, our economy, and the branches of the United States government. From the Executive Office of the President to the Federal Judiciary, the impact touches everything from national security to rule of law. Taxpayers demand legislation that responsibly addresses critical needs while responsibly eliminating waste. This measure exemplifies that approach and further demonstrates steady and consistent progress in cutting federal spending."
