Congressman Baird Secures Wins in Financial Services and National Security Appropriations Package
Washington, January 14, 2026
Today, Congressman Jim Baird (IN-04) released the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 7006, the Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026:
“I was pleased to support this bill that capitalizes on our promise to codify over $9 billion in federal spending cuts, restore fiscal sanity, eliminate woke programs that do not advance our national interests, and finally return the House to regular order. I was glad to see that some of my priorities were included in this package, including funding for the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund to support economic growth in rural communities, as well as for food security and agricultural development programs. These programs provide critical investments in agricultural research and allow farmers to sell more of their goods abroad. I look forward to sending this bill to President Trump’s desk soon to deliver on our commitment to a strong national defense and a prosperous economy.”
