Harold \u201cHal\u201d Rogers voted for the Fiscal Year 2027 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.\n\nThe comprehensive federal funding bill supports America\u2019s farmers, invests in rural development programs, bolsters food and drug safety, and protects nutrition programs for those who need it the most.\n\nCongressman Rogers announced that his Community Project Funding request for nearly $3.4 million for a Regional Emergency Services and Training Facility in Morgan County was also approved in the bill.\n\n\u201cThe health and safety of the American people are at the heart of this funding bill, by supporting our farmers, protecting our supply chains and strengthening nutrition programs. SNAP and WIC benefits are a lifeline for many families in Eastern Kentucky, and this bill reflects our work with the Trump Administration to ensure food aid will always be available to American citizens who qualify for them, by cutting the waste, fraud and abuse that threatens the programs\u2019 sustainability. We also boosted Child Nutrition programs and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program for low-income seniors in this bill to strengthen the safety net,\u201d said Congressman Rogers, Chairman Emeritus of the House Appropriations Committee. \u201cThis bill also makes critical investments in rural development programs, rural broadband, the electric loan program and homeownership loan program. Making our rural communities stronger, makes America stronger \u2013 that\u2019s why I was proud to secure nearly $3.4 million in this bill to support Morgan County\u2019s first responders and emergency operations.\u201d\n\nThe legislation maintains House Republicans\u2019 commitment to America\u2019s farmers, ranchers and consumers. It also invests in critical research programs to address emerging pests and diseases, prevents taxpayer dollars from funding climate hubs, discrimination against Americans based on traditional marriage beliefs, and wasteful Biden-era spending.\n\nThe federal funding bill now moves on to the Senate for consideration.\n\nFor more information about Congressman Rogers\u2019 work in Washington and at home in Kentucky, visit halrogers.house.gov and follow him on social media.", 1, "2026-06-06T06:16:30Z", "2026-06-06T06:17:47Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://halrogers.house.gov/press-releases?ID=549856AB-09BD-41B2-B66A-BCAA282D75A9"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4396118931472301, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
