WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Congressman Russ Fulcher (Idaho-01) issued the following statement after the House of Representatives advanced H.R. 7006, the Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs (NSRP) Appropriations Act, 2026. “Restoring fiscal responsibility in Washington, D.C., starts with Congress returning to regular order,” said Congressman Fulcher. “Today’s passage of FSGG and NSRP keeps the House on track to do just that for Fiscal Year 2026. This legislation includes safeguards to shield taxpayers from IRS targeting based on ideological beliefs, bolsters cybersecurity infrastructure to prevent hacking by foreign adversaries, and maintains support for allies to counter the Chinese Communist Party while enhancing transparency efforts.” Bill Background The Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act: * Protects consumer freedom in kitchen appliances, other tools, and recreational vehicle products through the prohibition of Biden-era regulations. * Prohibits the IRS from targeting individuals for exercising their First Amendment rights and protects the ideological beliefs of individuals or groups. * Equips Treasury and other agencies with tools to bolster cybersecurity and stop foreign adversaries and criminals from hacking our nation’s critical infrastructure. The National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act: * Prioritizes funding and policies to combat the flow of fentanyl and other illicit drugs into the United States to help save American lives. * Protects long-standing pro-life provisions as well as enhances oversight and transparency over program implementation to ensure American taxpayer dollars will not fund abortions.

AI summary (separate from source): Fulcher’s official House release says he responded to House advancement of H.R. 7006 and highlights that the package protected pro-life provisions and barred taxpayer funding of abortions, showing continued congressional work on the promise during the same House term.

The promise was to continue working in Congress to protect the unborn, which is an ongoing effort-based commitment rather than a specific enacted policy outcome. The evidence shows Fulcher maintained an explicitly pro-life platform while in office, publicly stated he was continuing that work in Congress, voted for abortion-related protection legislation, and repeatedly cosponsored related measures. That is sufficient to credit the promise as delivered during his federal service even though the cited bills were not all enacted.

The promise was framed as continuing to work in Congress to protect the unborn, not as securing enactment of a specific abortion law. The evidence shows Fulcher maintained the position publicly while in office, received high pro-life scorecard ratings, voted for H.R. 26, and cosponsored multiple abortion-related measures in the same congressional term. Because the promised action was continued congressional work rather than a discrete enacted policy outcome, these same-term legislative and public actions satisfy the commitment.
