CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING FY25

As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I am committed to increasing federal investment in New Mexico. Through recent reforms, the federal appropriations process now includes the opportunity to fund local projects through Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS). During this process for the fiscal year 2025 budget, I received an impressive number of quality requests.

I submitted the projects linked below to the Senate Appropriations Committee for consideration, based largely on Committee-determined eligibility requirements. After months of negotiation, the Republican-led Congress has passed a Continuing Resolution instead of a full appropriations bill to fund the government for the rest of the 2025 Fiscal Year, ending the FY25 Appropriations process. Unfortunately, the Continuing Resolution did not contain any Congressionally Directed Spending. I will continue to work to bring funding to New Mexico in future appropriations bills.
