​Appropriations Democrats at Work: Fighting For The People
Through 12 Committee markups this year, House Appropriations Committee Democrats have offered nearly 150 amendments to stand up for our values and push back on President Trump and the Republicans’ backwards agenda. While Republicans have defeated many of these important amendments, House Democrats have succeeded in forcing important debates and putting Republicans on the record, laying down a marker for the battles that lie ahead.

Lowey floor statement in opposition to FY 2019 Energy and Water, Legislative Branch, and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act

Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the three-bill package that Republicans are bringing to the Floor today.

Instead of following regular order and debating and amending the Military Construction-Veterans Affairs, Energy and Water, and Legislative Branch bills separately, Republican leadership is forcing us to consider them together. This broken process has a simple aim: Republicans are using America's veterans as pawns to force through cuts to clean energy research and harmful policy provisions that weaken environmental safeguards.

We all recognize the tremendous debt of gratitude we owe to those who have sacrificed for us in our Armed Forces, as well as their family members who share in their service to our country. That is why it is so important that Congress ensure our veterans receive the honors, benefits, and assistance they have earned.

Summary of FY 2019 Energy and Water, Legislative Branch, and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act
This week, the House is expected to consider a three-bill "minibus" that includes the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies, Legislative Branch, and Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies appropriations bills.
Kaptur statement at full committee markup of FY 2019 Energy and Water Appropriations Bill
The bill again includes several unnecessary and controversial policy riders, including a new version related to the Waters of the United States, ag exemptions from the Clean Water Act, more meddling in California water issues, prohibiting implementation of a National Ocean Policy, and new language legislating an ongoing court case. These riders make moving our bill in a bipartisan manner difficult and I strongly object to their inclusion.
