FY26 APPROPRIATIONS REQUEST FORMS
We are currently accepting FY26 Appropriations Requests. Deadline information for each subcommittee is below. Please note, programmatic/language requests and Community Project Funding requests may have different deadlines for the same subcommittees.
It is my privilege to represent the Central Coast of California in Congress. To ensure that I can advocate for federal investments and policy programs that best help our communities within California’s 24th Congressional District, it is important that I hear from my constituents directly on what should be prioritized within our federal appropriations process.
If you are interested in submitting appropriations requests for Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26), please find our forms below.
GENERAL PROGRAMMATIC AND LANGUAGE REQUESTS
A programmatic request is a request to fund a general federal agency or program at a specified level. For example: Provide $4,000,000,000 for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
A language request is a request for bill or report language that does not direct funding to a particular entity but encourages, urges, or directs some type of action by an agency. For example: The Committee encourages the National Academy of Science to support research to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportations sector.
Instructions
Please use this form for all general programmatic and language appropriations requests, except defense (see below). These are typically requests for overall funding levels or program language and do not name specific entities which will receive funding.
