Washington, D.C. – Today, the House Appropriations Committee met to consider the Fiscal Year 2027 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act. The measure was approved by the Committee with a vote of 34 to 28.
Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee Chairman Dave Joyce (R-OH) said, "The House Appropriations Committee is serious about maintaining regular order in government funding. This bill advancing out of committee highlights that commitment, and I look forward to it being brought to the House floor. We are cutting wasteful spending by leveraging new technologies and rooting out waste, fraud, abuse, and other improper payments across the government. This bill delivers for the American people, and I want to thank Chairman Cole and everyone involved for their work to advance this bill.”
Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) said, “With today’s full committee advancement of the FY27 Financial Services and General Government bill, we are continuing to build momentum and deliver on our commitment to responsible, results-driven governance. This legislation restores discipline to federal spending, eliminates waste, and ensures taxpayer dollars are focused where they matter most – supporting our economy, strengthening safeguards, and reinforcing the foundations of American success. The measure also upholds national security and community protection with investments to stop criminals and bad actors from exploiting our systems, trafficking drugs, attacking our cyber capabilities, and undermining public safety in the nation’s capital. Chairman Joyce’s work restores a government that operates with clarity, restraint, and purpose – and delivers real results for the American people. Line by line, appropriations are mission-focused and guided by purpose, not bureaucracy.”
