Career Advantage Center's appropriation on President's desk

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01) voted to pass the remaining appropriations bills, reopening the federal government and funding it under regular order for the first time in years.
With President Trump’s signature, Republicans have now completed 11 of the 12 annual appropriations bills, ending the Biden-Pelosi era of reckless spending, massive omnibus packages, and endless continuing resolutions.
“House Republicans kept the promise we made to the American people,” Said Miller-Meeks. “For too long, Washington has relied on last-minute deals and trillion-dollar spending sprees that ballooned the debt and ignored fiscal responsibility. Today we changed that. We reopened the government and funded it the right way, under regular order, with transparency and discipline. I fought hard to secure more than $19 million in Community Project Funding for roads, water systems, workforce programs, and infrastructure right here in Southeast Iowa. At the same time, three of my bipartisan health care bills are now law, improving care for kids and giving seniors better access to life-saving cancer screenings. This is Iowa First leadership: responsible budgeting, real results for our communities, and no more excuses for wasteful Washington spending.”
Included in these funding bills is over $19 million in Community Project Funding that Rep. Miller-Meeks fought to secure for southeast Iowa, funding major road, water, workforce, and infrastructure projects across the district. Locally, the Lee County Career Advantage Center was awarded $1 million and the Burlington Cascade Bridge Project was awarded $6 million.
