Mark Alford: House passes all 12 government funding bills with back room deals

(From Fourth District Congressman Mark Alford)

This week, Congress delivered a historic win for the American people.

For the first time in years, the House passed all twelve annual government funding bills through a transparent process and without backroom deals or last-minute chaos. Twelve out of twelve. That may sound technical, but it represents something simple: your government actually doing its job again.

For too long, Washington has governed by crisis. Rushed spending packages, shutdown threats, and broken promises. Those days are over. Under President Trump’s America First agenda and strong conservative leadership, the House is back to work.

These bills strengthen our military, secure our border, improve public safety, modernize transportation, and rein in wasteful spending. It’s peace through strength, security at home, and opportunity for the next generation.

Most importantly, Missouri wins.

Nearly $12.7 million is coming back to the Fourth District for practical, community-driven projects. We’re expanding Skyhaven Airport at UCM to improve safety and grow aviation training.

We’re launching a Workforce Training Center for Agriculture in Sedalia to prepare skilled workers for tomorrow’s jobs.

And we’re replacing a failing bridge in Oak Grove so families, first responders, and local businesses can travel safely and reliably.

That’s your tax dollars working where they belong, right here at home.

As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, and under the unmatched leadership of Chairman Tom Cole, I’m proud to help deliver responsible spending that puts national security, border safety, and hardworking taxpayers first.

This historic accomplishment sends a clear message: the House is governing again.

America First works.

And Missouri is stronger because of it.
