WASHINGTON—House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) today voted in favor of the Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026. The three-bill funding package focuses on fiscal responsibility, public safety, and national security, while providing full-year funding.
“Republicans are doing what Democrats refuse to do: cutting spending, lowering costs, strengthening national security, and governing responsibly,” Chairwoman McClain said. “I fought to deliver full-year funding that invests in our district’s infrastructure and public safety—without the chaos of Democrat shutdown threats or their bloated bureaucracy. Michigan families want results, not excuses, and I’ll keep fighting to make sure Washington works for them, not itself.”
Chairwoman McClain secured over $15 million for 12 local infrastructure projects in the package. The projects are listed below:
- Bad Axe: $750,000 for installing new water, storm, and sewer mains along Silver Street to Liberty Street.
- Brown City: $2 million to replace old and outdated sewer and storm water lines throughout the community.
