I remain committed to funding our government, avoiding a shutdown, continuing the FY26 appropriations process, allowing the Trump Administration to continue to put America First, and protecting Americans.
Will continue the FY26 appropriations process and move funding bills forward under regular order.

Evidence
"That’s why I was proud to vote for, and pass, the final four full-year funding bills in the House today." Rutherford said the passage of these final appropriations bills would deliver core national priorities and marked the House passage of the Fiscal Year 2026 Consolidated Appropriations Act and the Fiscal Year 2026 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act.
"With the passage of this final package, the House of Representatives has completed its constitutional duty and passed all twelve appropriations measures for Fiscal Year 2026." The release says the bills were negotiated, finalized, and delivered through a member-driven, bicameral process.
Assessments
Rutherford promised to continue the FY26 appropriations process and move funding bills forward under regular order. The evidence shows that, while serving in the same federal House term, he voted for and publicly claimed credit for House passage of the final FY26 appropriations bills, and the House Appropriations Committee stated that all twelve FY26 appropriations measures had passed the House through a member-driven process. Because the promised action was to move funding bills forward rather than secure final enactment of every bill, this supports full delivery in the same term.
