Even further, Appropriations bills that have been signed into law make a host of good-government changes to the way our federal agencies operate \u2013 reining in waste, abuse, and unnecessary bureaucratic over-regulation that harms our economy.\u00a0\n\u201cThe 12 Appropriations Subcommittee Chairmen are essential to this success. They lead the way in overseeing our federal agencies, and guide spending decisions to make the most responsible and effective use of American tax dollars. Over the next two years, we will have some big challenges and a full plate of \u2018to-dos\u2019 ahead of us as we continue to fight for stability, continuity, and responsibility in the federal budget process. These excellent Subcommittee Cardinals will be a tremendous benefit to our efforts. I congratulate them and look forward to working with them in the 114th Congress,\u201d Chairman Rogers said.\nThe subcommittee Chairs are as follows:\nSubcommittee on Agriculture and Rural Development \u2013 Chairman Robert Aderholt  \n\tSubcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and Science \u2013 Chairman John Culberson  \n\tSubcommittee on Defense \u2013 Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen  \n\tSubcommittee on Energy and Water Development \u2013 Chairman Mike Simpson  \n\tSubcommittee on Financial Services \u2013 Chairman Ander Crenshaw  \n\tSubcommittee on Homeland Security \u2013 Chairman John Carter  \n\tSubcommittee on the Interior, Environment \u2013 Chairman Ken Calvert  Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education \u2013 Chairman Tom Cole  \n\tSubcommittee on the Legislative Branch \u2013 Chairman Tom Graves  \n\tSubcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs \u2013 Chairman Charles Dent  \n\tSubcommittee on State, Foreign Operations \u2013 Chairwoman Kay Granger  \n\tSubcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development \u2013 Chairman Mario Diaz-Balart\n###\nLink to original release Contact:  \n\tJennifer Hing (202) 225-2771 (Appropriations)  Sarah Corley (202) 225-6165 (Cole)", 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": ["http://cole.house.gov/press-release/chairman-rogers-announces-subcommittee-chairs-114th-congress"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5276530757546425, "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"}
