Appropriations

Each year, Members of Congress have an opportunity to participate in the annual appropriations process by submitting programmatic, language, and project requests to the House Committee on Appropriations. There are 3 types of requests for the twelve appropriations bills. The links to submit your requests are below. Please email AppropriationsCA46@mail.house.gov if you have any questions.

  • Programmatic requests: A request to fund a specific program in the bill at a specified level.
    • Example: Provide $200,000,000 for the ReConnect program.
  • Language requests: A request to include specific bill or report language that does not direct funding to a particular entity but encourages, urges, or directs some type of action by an agency.
    • Example: The Committee encourages USDA to study the impact of expanded broadband on rural communities’ economic prosperity.
  • Community Project Funding (CPF) requests: A funding request for a specific governmental or other eligible entity to carry out a specific community project. Formerly known as earmarks.
    • Example: Provide $500,000 for a specific non-profit in the district or for a government entity to carry out a community project.

Community Project Funding Requests

California's 46th Congressional District is home to many cities, organizations, and institutions working on important projects that receive funding from the federal government. In order to be sure that I am hearing from my constituents, I have set up this page to solicit community funding project requests. Please take the time to let me know more about your community funding project request, and how my office can be helpful to you.
