LCV Statement on Environmental Spending Bills

Washington, D.C.— Ahead of the House vote on the package of three Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations bills responsible for funding critical environmental agencies, the League of Conservation Voters released the following statement from Legislative Director David Shadburn:

“This hard-fought compromise is a crucial step forward in blocking dozens of the worst partisan attacks. Congress must rein in Donald Trump and Russell Vought’s continued abuse of power and ensure that agencies are doing the work of the people as mandated by Congress. Quickly passing bipartisan funding bills is our strongest defense against the attacks on our core institutions of environmental protection. We are grateful to the members of Congress and their staff for working overtime to negotiate truly bipartisan funding bills that will help protect our air, water, and public lands.”
