I am honored that my Democratic colleagues have elected me to serve as Chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee.
-
We are ready and eager to lead the way in meeting the great responsibilities the American people have entrusted to Democrats—to invest responsibly to grow the economy, create jobs, and secure our nation.
-
I look forward to working with my colleagues on the committee and in Congress to pass federal spending bills that provide adequate funding for health,... education, child care, infrastructure, and other investments that improve our communities and help New Yorkers and all Americans.
-
I am also committed to using Congress’s constitutional power of the purse to provide robust, effective oversight of the Trump Administration and to reject funding that runs counter to the values and interests of hardworking families.
-
The immense responsibility to fund the government, keeping it open and operational, and to spend tax dollars wisely is particularly clear given the looming Trump Shutdown, which will harm American families, businesses, and communities.
