January 8, 2026

Today, Congressman John Moolenaar supported the fiscal year 2026 Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment appropriations bills. The bills passed the House with a bipartisan 397-28 vote. 

“These bills fund important programs that are crucial to Michigan families. They increase funding to fight the fentanyl crisis, protect the Great Lakes, combat online scams, and invest in STEM education,” said Moolenaar. “They also fund the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to continue construction of the Soo Locks, and maintain our harbors.”

The bills include: 

  • $369 million for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
  • $5 million for the Great Lakes Authority.
  • $10.44 billion for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
  • $2.81 billion for the Drug Enforcement Administration.
  • $2.25 billion for State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance including $420 million for the Anti-Opioid and Substance Abuse Initiative.
