The package includes Chairman Calvert’s FY26 Defense Appropriations bill and more than $67 million for Riverside County projects
Today, Congressman Ken Calvert voted along with a bipartisan majority (217 to 214) of the House of Representatives to approve a package of appropriation bills that included funding for Defense; Labor, Health and Human Services, Education; and Transportation, Housing and Urban Development. It also included a short-term extension of funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
“The funding package approved by the House today and signed into law by President Trump puts an end to the current shutdown,” said Rep. Calvert. “The passage of my FY26 Defense Appropriations bill, which was included in the package, will provide our troops with critical resources to keep America safe as well as a much-deserved pay raise. It also advances my priorities as Defense Appropriations Chairman, including funding programs that leverage American innovation, establishing a new Civil Reserve Manufacturing Network, and investing in National Guard counter-drug programs. The resources provided for Riverside County projects in this bill will help communities throughout our region. I look forward to our continued work together to advance these critical projects.”
