Joyce Holds Hearing with OMB Director Vought on FY27 Budget Request

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Appropriations Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) Subcommittee Chairman Dave Joyce (OH-14) questioned Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought on the Administration’s spending plan for the remainder of Fiscal Year (FY) 2026, including the recently submitted FY 26 supplemental, and its priorities for FY 2027. The hearing also put a spotlight on OMB’s role in shaping the executive branch’s spending decisions and policy directives.

“As of June 20th, 265 executive orders, 59 memoranda, and 153 proclamations had been signed by the President. OMB plays a critical role in each one of these decisions. However, we need to work together to ensure that federal funds are being used as Congress intended. Even if the administration doesn’t agree with the intent of certain programs,” said Congressman Joyce in his opening remarks. “This is why the President’s budget remains so important. It is a guide to help Congress understand agency priorities and how the legislative and executive branch can work together to deploy the resources necessary to execute on those priorities.”
