CONGRESSIONALly
directed spending fy2026

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, I work with non-profit entities, universities, and state, Tribal, and local governments to direct federal funding to projects that truly have an impact on the lives of New Mexicans.

The deadline has passed to submit projects to my office for the FY26 Congressional Directed Spending process.

Over the last three years, I’ve been proud to work with communities throughout New Mexico to deliver $545 million in Congressionally Directed Spending to support 325 projects. You can find the list of CDS projects I secured funding for in FY24 here, FY23 here and in FY22 here.
