By Congressman Mike Simpson
Dear Friend,
Another big week for appropriations! The House Appropriations Committee officially passed all 12 spending bills out of the full committee. Our committee set a vigorous timeline to pass all twelve single-subject spending bills, and we delivered.
Also, earlier this week marked the fourth anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. I proudly cosponsored a resolution that commemorates this historic anniversary and celebrates the lives that will be saved as a result.
AMERICA IS TURNING 250 YEARS OLD! Like Americans throughout the country, I look forward to celebrating our country later this week. There is a lot going on in DC to celebrate, including my recent opportunity to participate in a cake-making session for America’s 250th.
Appropriators Go 12 for 12!
House appropriators go 12 for 12! I applaud Chairman Tom Cole for his leadership and commitment to working with the various subcommittee chairmen. I especially appreciate his continued support for my Fiscal Year 2027 Interior and Environment Appropriations Bill, which is critical for programs that states, local communities, and Tribes rely on.
Passing these twelve fiscally responsible bills out of the full committee is the first step in reducing spending, restoring fiscal responsibility, and advancing President Trump’s agenda. I am excited to see the significant progress we are making and look forward to the next steps in bringing the remaining bills to the House floor.
Celebrating 4 Years of Dobbs
Four years ago, the United States Supreme Court made the correct decision and overturned Roe v. Wade.
I have long said that there is no constitutional right to an abortion, and thanks to the historic Dobbs decision, power was returned to the people, and the right to protect unborn life was restored. I’m proud to be a part of the pro-life movement and will continue to stand up for the unborn unapologetically. I am also proud to I am proud to have earned an A+ on SBA Pro-Life America’s scorecard. Defending the most vulnerable among us is one of my top priorities in Congress.
America 250!
It was an honor to represent Idaho in a cake-making session for America’s 250th Birthday Cake!
Idaho’s inclusion is a horn of plenty, like in the Idaho State Seal! The cake will be unveiled on July 4th.
