U.S. Congressman Brian Mast (FL-18) today released the following statement after the House of Representatives passed the FY2021 budget, which includes $250 million in funding for Everglades restoration:\r\nThis is a historic vote for Everglades restoration and stopping harmful discharges, Rep. Mast said. This record-setting funding is exactly what we need to accelerate restoration projects and send more water south where Mother Nature intended it to go!\r\nIn 2019, Rep. Mast convinced the White House and Congress to pass an appropriations package with $200 million in funding for Everglades restoration. Earlier this year, Rep. Mast sent a letter to President Trump urging his Administration to request $250 million for Everglades funding in his budget. This year's budget, which includes the additional $50 million, builds on Rep. Mast's track record of success and brings the total to a record-setting $250 million. A full timeline of Rep. Mast's efforts to secure Everglades funding during the 116th Congress is available here.\r\nThis appropriations bill has also passed the Senate and is expected to be signed into law by President Donald Trump in the coming days.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://mast.house.gov/press-releases?ID=6B62A775-52AD-4DA2-934E-D813C775DFE4"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4220259618014097, "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"}
