House GOP fiscal hawks request tens of millions in federal earmarks

House GOP Fiscal Hawks has requested millions of federal dollars for projects for the financial year 2026 in its home districts, found in an analysis of Fox News Digital.

It is common for Congress MPs to request money for specific community initiatives for those they represent – measures called “earmarks”. Critics of such funding have often referred to it as “pork”.

This upcoming financial year, starting from October 1, is no different – both Republican and Democrats have a request of over one billion dollars so far.

It includes conservatives in the House of Representatives, who are known to criticize what they describe as excessive or bloated government expenses.

For example, House Freedom Cocks Chair Andy Harris, R-MD.

The figure includes $ 9 million for the Middle River Fire Company to improve and upgrade its features, and $ 1 million for the development of a doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Maryland Eastern Coast University.

Most of Harris’ requests are aimed at the purpose of rural development and army core of engineers in his district. Three earmarks were requested for clean water initiative.

Harris told Fox News Digital, when he arrived for comment on funds, “These awards are certified to direct taxpayers in the district – prepared from existing grant programs that are paid annually. It is better for the elected members of the Congress to tell that all those who leave all the funds are left in comparison to the decisions.

Rape. Tim Birch, R-Ten., Hawk with a self-destroyed deficit had so far approved for more than $ 10 million. This includes more than $ 4 million for flexible neutrons source, a research appliance at the University of Tennessee and $ 2 million for giants’ accommodation at the NOX County.

Long -time biden colleague says

Members of House Freedom Caucus rape. Clay Higgins, R-La., Was approved in the earmark for over $ 18 million-the largest request with the Silicon Beau Semiconductor Technology Center at Louisiana University, Lafate, Louisiana University, Lafet, with $ 4,200,000.

The total amount of Higgins includes the Army Corps of Engineers Projects as well as money for rural hospitals, law enforcement and clean water initiative.

He took the House Majority Leader Steve Skillis, R-La. Also presented a joint request, for $ 131,500,000 towards a levy and floodgate system, Morganza is asked for the Gulf of the Mexico Project, which was aimed at preventing storm damage.

Rape. Lauren Boost, R-Kolo., Another member of House Freedom Caucus received approximately $ 15 million in community funding projects, mainly with the objective of clean water programs and highway infrastructure.

When she first came to the Congress, Booebert was against the earmarks. His opinion has changed since then, however, due to the Republican-led changes in this process-he explained in 2023 op-Eds. Aspen Times.

On arriving for this story, he made a uniform argument for Fox News Digital: “I fought for real reforms in the appropriation process in 2023 to ensure that my component tax dollars go to the necessary infrastructure projects, not useless and corrupt expenses that were under Nancy Pelosi.”

“My district’s roads are falling, and our water is being sent to California, where it is ruined, because the politicians of Colorado will not invest in water storage or infrastructure investments. My components pay federal taxes just like everyone, and they should benefit their communities instead of sending their dollars to their communities instead of sending their dollars.

Conservative Libeterian rape. Thomas Masi, R-K., also received some community funding, although a total of $ 5 million has been approved so far. Massey’s requests so far are focused on construction and rehabilitation for all Cincinnati/North Kentki International Airport.

Massey told Fox News Digital of funding, “I work in the transport and infrastructure committee because I believe that the federal government has a valid role in the transport infrastructure, and the Legislature has constitutional right to direct the funding of those projects.”

“In fact, I have voted at the GOP conference more than once to restore the Congress’s directed expenses in terms of transport infrastructure,” Massey said.

And rape. Marjori Taylor Green, R-G.

Those funding requests include largely infrastructure initiatives, clean water programs and law enforcement projects for Floid County and other fields.

While known as a fiscal hawk, it is worth noting that most criticism of Green’s government spending is directed on foreign aid.

Green said she was happy to be able to provide for her district when she arrived for comment by Fox News Digital.

“I am proud to bring the federal tax back home for Northwest Georgia – where they are. My constituents work hard, and for a very long time, Washington has sent his money to fund foreign wars, foreign governments and global pet projects. When I first went to the Congress, I think it is a tool that it is a tool after seeing it.

“I will not support the Arabs for Ukraine or other endless wars, but I will fully fight to secure significant investment in Northwest Georgia, from water systems and sewer expansion to public safety equipment, roads and broadbands.”

The requests for the expenses of the above legalists are away from a complete total list throughout the house, but the earmark proposals of fiscal conservators show how widespread the practice within the Congress – on both sides of the corridor.

Republican has made some changes in this process as FY2025, however, to narrow what is allowed.
