Gluesenkamp Perez Named to House Committee on Appropriations

Today, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03) announced that she was selected to serve on the influential House Committee on Appropriations for the 119th Congress.

The House Committee on Appropriations determines and oversees discretionary spending and is responsible for funding the federal government’s vital activities and investments to grow the economy, keep the country secure, and build for the future.

“Families across our country deserve to know that their hard-earned tax dollars are being used in an effective, durable, and responsible way. It’s why I’ve stood up against government waste and in support of greater fiscal discipline and transparency. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I look forward to working on bipartisan funding solutions tailored to our communities’ needs, priorities, and values,” said Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez. “Living in unincorporated Skamania County, I’ve seen how investments in the nuts and bolts of community services can make a real difference empowering rural economies and our way of life. I’ll continue fighting to ensure federal resources reach rural and ag communities and benefit hardworking people across Southwest Washington.”

In her first term, Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez worked to bring home more than $2.4 billion of federal funding for vital community investments in every county across Southwest Washington. Of that, she secured $21.4 million in FY24 Community Project funding, which was greater than 91 percent of her freshman House Democratic colleagues.

Last year, Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez was recognized by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget for her efforts to put our nation on a better fiscal trajectory.
