Alford said the FY27 Financial Services and General Government bill "cuts spending by nearly $1 billion" and eliminates wasteful spending. The release also says the bill cuts IRS enforcement by 28% or $1.4 billion and fully funds IGs and PRAC to stop waste, fraud, abuse, and improper or fraudulent payments.

After the prior evidence set, Alford publicly tied committee advancement of an FY27 appropriations bill to spending cuts and anti-fraud enforcement. This shows continued same-term effort, though committee advancement is not final enactment or proof of deficit reduction.
