Congressman Rogers Applauds House Passage of Federal Funding Bill for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration

Includes Nearly $3.4 Million for Morgan County Emergency Services Facility WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Rep. Harold “Hal” Rogers voted for the Fiscal Year 2027 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. The comprehensive federal funding bill supports America’s farmers, invests in rural development programs, bolsters food and drug safety, and protects nutrition programs for those who need it the most. Congressman Rogers announced that his Community Project Funding request for nearly $3.4 million for a Regional Emergency Services and Training Facility in Morgan County was also approved in the bill. “The health and safety of the American people are at the heart of this funding bill, by supporting our farmers, protecting our supply chains and strengthening nutrition programs. SNAP and WIC benefits are a lifeline for many families in Eastern Kentucky, and this bill reflects our work with the Trump Administration to ensure food aid will always be available to American citizens who qualify for them, by cutting the waste, fraud and abuse that threatens the programs’ sustainability. We also boosted Child Nutrition programs and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program for low-income seniors in this bill to strengthen the safety net,” said Congressman Rogers, Chairman Emeritus of the House Appropriations Committee . “This bill also makes critical investments in rural development programs, rural broadband, the electric loan program and homeownership loan program. Making our rural communities stronger, makes America stronger – that’s why I was proud to secure nearly $3.4 million in this bill to support Morgan County’s first responders and emergency operations.” The legislation maintains House Republicans’ commitment to America’s farmers, ranchers and consumers. It also invests in critical research programs to address emerging pests and diseases, prevents taxpayer dollars from funding climate hubs, discrimination against Americans based on traditional marriage beliefs, and wasteful Biden-era spending. The federal funding bill now moves on to the Senate for consideration.
