Washington, D.C. – Today, House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) supported H.R. 6938, which funds several agencies for FY2026, including those key to our energy security, law enforcement, and scientific innovation. This bill advances President Trump’s agenda to Make America Energy Dominant, invests in nuclear innovation, reverses Biden-era Green New Scam initiatives, reduces dependence on foreign critical minerals, and strengthens vital national security priorities. 

"This week, Republicans continued our commitment to unleashing American energy dominance and expanding affordability for all Americans. These funding bills cut hundreds of millions of dollars in wasteful Green New Scam spending at the EPA, rein in bloated Biden-era bureaucracies, and eliminate funding for failed climate-driven programs - reducing federal spending by more than $2 billion, lowering prices, and giving consumers more choice. 

"At the same time, the bill makes targeted investments in American energy production, including advanced nuclear energy, domestic critical mineral development, and responsible oil and gas production. These commitments will be especially beneficial to the Big Country as Abilene Christian University advances its first-of-its-kind Molten Salt Research Reactor. 

"All told, this legislation delivers a decisive blow to Washington’s bloated bureaucracy, strengthens American energy dominance, and puts American families, workers, and innovators first - with West Texans leading the way.” - Chairman Jodey Arrington.
