These final bills mark the last steps in completing all twelve FY2026 appropriations bills, and avoiding the chaos of shutdown threats and stopgap spending. They include major wins for Eastern Washington, alongside broader investments that support servicemembers, secure our communities, provide effective education and health systems, and modernize transportation. The bill now moves to the Senate and if passed, to the President’s desk to be signed into law. Funding for these departments and agencies is set to expire on January 30th. “With today’s votes, Congress is finally back to doing its job – funding the government through appropriations bills,” said Congressman Baumgartner. “These bills deliver for Eastern Washington: pay raises for Fairchild airmen, stronger rural hospitals, safer highways and airports, and tougher border and drug enforcement to keep our communities safe. In the Transportation Appropriations bill, Baumgartner secured more than $5.8 million in targeted Community Project Funding to directly support Eastern Washington’s transportation and public safety needs. | 1 | 2026-05-07T13:38:59Z | 2026-05-07T13:40:28Z |
