Fedorchak votes to advance FY26 financial services and national security funding through regular order
Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak (R-ND) voted to advance a FY26 appropriations package funding Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs (NSRP). The bipartisan, bicameral package cuts current spending levels by more than $9 billion and codifies FY25 rescissions.
“By realigning foreign policy spending with President Trump’s America First agenda and restoring focus to core responsibilities, this package reins in waste, strengthens accountability, and moves us forward with disciplined, full-year funding through regular order,” Fedorchak said. “Among many provisions that will improve, this package redirects agencies like the IRS away from aggressive policing of Americans and modernizes outdated systems so our government can better serve the people.”

innovation
