Joyce Applauds Passage of FY26 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Bill
WASHINGTON D.C. – Today, Congressman Dave Joyce (OH-14) released the following statement on the House passage of his legislation, the Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act. This bill, which was included in H.R. 7006 alongside the Fiscal Year 2026 National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, ensures federal spending is aligned with the Trump Administration’s priorities, including strengthening national security, supporting small businesses, and ensuring entrepreneurs have access to the capital needed to grow. The entire package will now go to the Senate for consideration following today’s passage in the House.
“Under the previous administration, taxpayers saw their hard-earned dollars go to waste on reckless federal spending. Passage of this bill is a significant step towards restoring fiscal responsibility and prioritizing the American public in our federal agencies,” said Congressman Joyce, Chair of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government. “This legislation cuts waste and provides critical funding that supports the Department of the Treasury, Small Business Administration, High Intensity Drug Trafficking programs, the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, the Federal Judiciary, and over 20 other independent agencies. I want to thank my colleagues on the committee and Chairman Cole for their hard work, and I look forward to working to pass the remaining appropriations bills in the coming weeks.”
“Another step forward – another promise kept. The House just passed our next bipartisan, bicameral FY26 appropriations package, reflecting a simple truth: funding the government is a responsibility, and doing it right requires steady, deliberate progress. This two-bill measure strengthens economic opportunity, supports small businesses and families, and modernizes government operations. It protects taxpayers by shifting IRS resources toward customer service as families head into a historic tax filing season – one in which the benefits of the Working Families Tax Cuts will be realized. Just as this package strengthens financial security and accountability, it also reinforces America’s safety and leadership at home and abroad. We turn President Trump’s doctrine of peace through strength into action by realigning funding toward national security priorities that uphold U.S. values, guidance, and diplomacy on the world stage. We counter drug and human trafficking, confront the malign influence of our adversaries, and institute accountability. The blank checks of past administrations are over – and America First governing is back. That discipline shaped this package, resulting in billions of dollars in savings. Subcommittee Chairmen David Joyce and Mario Díaz-Balart guided this legislation to deliver results for the country and implement President Trump’s agenda of a future defined by clarity of purpose and confidence in America,” said House Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole.
