Capito Highlights MilCon-VA, Agriculture Appropriations Wins for West Virginia

CHARLESTON, W.Va.– Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a senior leader on the Senate Appropriations Committee, highlighted Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) awards she supported that were included in the recently passed Appropriations bills— Fiscal Year 2026 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies, and Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies. Additionally, full-year funding for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) was included in the Agriculture Appropriations bills, which will provide much needed certainty for recipients.
“I’m so proud of the investments we were able to secure in the recent Appropriations bills. They reflect exactly what Congressionally Directed Spending is supposed to do, which is direct federal resources to projects that meet real needs in our communities and deliver long-term benefits for West Virginians. Whether it’s strengthening the infrastructure that supports our veterans and military families or supporting our first responders, this funding will help move our state forward and improve lives across West Virginia. I look forward to continuing our work to advance more Appropriations bills—including my Labor-HHS bill—and finish the process.”Senator Capito said.
