As a member of the Appropriations Committee and THUD subcommittee, Zinke has an early hand in crafting the bill. The bill is next headed to the House floor for a vote.\n\n\u201cNot every dollar spent by D.C. is a waste, much of it is needed investment and infrastructure is investments. The Montana investments secured in this year\u2019s transportation appropriations bill includes some of my top priorities. These are projects I\u2019ve been working on with community leaders and county commissioners for months and in some case years,\u201d said Zinke. \u201cNoxon Bridge has holes the size of trash can lids, and Pyramid Lumber shut down largely because of the lack of infrastructure to support housing in Seeley Lake. These funds are desperately needed, and our communities won\u2019t be ignored any longer. I\u2019m glad to see this bill move out of committee and head to the House floor for a vote.\u201d\n\nSee Congressman Zinke\u2019s Community Project Funding Requests included in the bill below:\n\n$10,000,000 for the Seeley Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant\n\n$2,500,000 for the Sanders County Noxon Bridge Replacement Project Phase 1\n\n$2,500,000 for the Ravalli County Wastewater Treatment Plant\n\n$454,000 for Rural Airport Reconstruction and Emergency Services Expansion\n\n$1,150,000 for repaving Marten Creek Road\n\n$1,000,000 for Flathead County North Fork Road guardrails\n\n$1,000,000 for Groff Lane Bridge Replacement\n\n$1,000,000 for Old Corvallis Road Repair\n\nRead the full text of the bill HERE.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:40:33Z"]], "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://zinke.house.gov/media/press-releases/zinkes-20-million-do-list-western-montana-water-roads-and-bridges-advances"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6374279037117958, "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"}
