HAWKS HOWKS GOP ASE TENDERS OF MIDDES Federal sails

House GOP Tax Hawks has requested tens of millions of federal dollars for projects in their original districts for exercise 2026, Fox News Digital Analysis revealed.

It is common for Congress legislators to request funding for specific community initiatives for the people they represent – measures called “Earmarks”. Critics of such funding have often described it as “pork”.

This coming exercise, from October 1, is no different – the Republicans and Democrats have so far have demands totaling more than a billion dollars in Airsletes.

This includes the conservatives of the House of Representatives who are known to criticize what they describe as excessive or swollen public spending.

The president of the House Freedom Caucus, Andy Harris, R-MD., For example, was approved for more than $ 55 million in federal funding for projects in his district.

The figure includes $ 9 million for the Middle River Fire Company to make improvements and improvements to its facilities, and $ 1 million for the development of a doctor in veterinary medicine at the East Coast of Maryland University.

The majority of Harris requests aim for rural development in its district and the body of army engineers. Three brands were requested for drinking water initiatives.

Harris told Fox News Digital when he was contacted to comment on the funds: “These prices are certified to benefit the district taxpayers directly – by drawing existing grant programs which are funded each year. It is much better for elected members of the Congress to designate where this money will leave these decisions to non -elected federal bureaucrats.

Representative Tim Buchett, R-Tenn., A self-proclaimed fault, has been approved so far for just over $ 10 million. This includes more than $ 4 million for the flexible source of neutrons, a research tool at the University of Tennessee and $ 2 million for veterans housing in Knox county.

The representative of the House Freedom Caucus, Clay Higgins, R -La., Was approved for more than $ 18 million in assignments – the largest demand being $ 4,200,000 for the Silicon Bayou Semiconductor Technology Center at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette.

The total sum of Higgins also includes the financing of projects of the body of army engineers, as well as initiatives of the rural hospital, the police and clean water.

He also submitted a joint request with the head of the majority of the room, Steve Scalizes, R-La., For $ 131,500,000 to a dike and flood system, called Morganza in the Gulf of Mexico, aimed at prevention of damage caused by the storm.

Representative Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., Another member of the House Freedom Caucus, has obtained nearly $ 15 million in approved community financing projects, mainly intended for drinking water programs and road infrastructure.

Boebert was vehemently against the Afarcian tracks when she arrived at Congress for the first time. However, her opinion has changed since then, due to changes led by the Republicans, which she explained in an editorial in 2023 in the Aspen Times.

She made an argument similar to Fox News Digital when he was contacted for this story: “I fought real reforms to the credits process in 2023 to make sure that the taxes of my voters go to the necessary infrastructure projects, and not to the unnecessary and corrupt expenditure programs which took place under Nancy Pelosi.”

“The roads of my district collapse, and our water continues to send to California, where it is wasted, because the politicians of Colorado will not invest in the storage of water or investments in infrastructure. My voters pay federal taxes like everyone else, and they should see their dollars benefit from their communities instead of being sent to sanctuar cities.” declared Boebert.

The conservative libertarian representative Thomas Massie, R-Ky., Also obtained community funding, but totaling only $ 5 million so far approved. Until now, Massie requests have all focused on the construction and rehabilitation of the Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky International Airport.

Massie told Fox News Digital Financing: “I sit on the Transport and Infrastructure Committee because I think the federal government has a legitimate role in transport infrastructure, and the legislator has the constitutional power to direct the financing of these projects.”

“In fact, I voted more than once at the GOP conference to restore the expenses led by the Congress in the context of the transport infrastructure,” said Massie.

And representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-GA., President of the subcommittee for having delivered the effectiveness of the government (DOGE), obtained nearly $ 10 million in approved assignments for her Rural-Suburbain Georgia district.

These financing requests are largely made up of infrastructure initiatives, clean water programs and projects related to the application of the law for the County of Floyd and in other areas.

Although known as a tax hawk, it should be noted that the majority of Greene’s criticism of public spending are aimed at foreign aid.

Greene said she was happy to be able to provide for her district when he was contacted to comment Fox News Digital.

“I’m proud to Bring Federal Tax Dollars Back Home to Northwest Georgia – Where They Belong. My Constitents Work Hard, and for Far to Long, Washington has smells their money to fund foreign wars, foreign governments and globalist pet projects. When i first got to congress, i opposed the Earmark Process because I Believed it was a tool of the Swamp.

“I will never support billions for Ukraine or other endless wars, but I will absolutely fight to guarantee critical investments in the northwest of Georgia, water systems and sewer extensions to public safety equipment, roads and broadband.”

The requests for expenditure of the aforementioned legislators are far from being a total exhaustive list throughout the chamber, but the proposals for the functions of the tax conservatives show how widespread the practice is widespread within the congress – on both sides of the aisle.

The Republicans, however, made changes to the process at the 201025 financial year to restrict what is authorized.

In an effort to block requests for financing “awakened” or socially progressive policies, GOP appropriars have prohibited most non -profit organizations.

This decision has probably allowed hundreds of millions of dollars in annual spending, but the Democrats have decried it as a block of federal funding for LGBT initiatives.

Fox News Digital contacted the spokesperson for Buchett and Higgins to comment but did not receive an answer.
