Rep. Mann Advances House Transportation & Infrastructure Budget Reconciliation Bill

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Tracey Mann (KS-01) voted to advance the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee’s budget reconciliation proposal that provides historic funding for the U.S. Coast Guard, invests in our nation’s air traffic control system, and reduces federal spending through the rescission of Biden-era programs. Rep. Mann released the following statement after the markup. 

“Kansans in the Big First District sent me to Washington, D.C. to help President Trump reduce wasteful spending, make America safe again, and protect our way of life in rural America,” said Rep. Mann. “Our reconciliation proposal delivers on the mandate given to our Republican majorities, empowers the U.S. Coast Guard to relentlessly defend our national security by slowing human and drug trafficking across our nation’s waters, invests in modernization for our nation’s air traffic control systems, cuts wasteful spending on Green New Deal pet projects that benefit no one but far left activists, and reduces the federal deficit by nearly $10 billion. I was proud to support these historic investments that advance President Trump’s agenda to put America first and usher in a golden age of American greatness. I look forward to completing the next stage of the budget reconciliation process to deliver the one big, beautiful bill American families deserve.”

The House Transportation & Infrastructure budget reconciliation proposal: 

• Invests more than $21 billion in U.S. Coast Guard missions to stop illegal drugs and migrants from crossing U.S. maritime borders
• Appropriates $12.5 billion to the Federal Aviation Administration for the modernization of air traffic control technology and infrastructure
• Rescinds unobligated funds and eliminates Biden-era programs estimated to cost over $4 billion
• Fixes Highway Trust Fund inequities by ensuring electric vehicle and hybrid users pay a user fee into the Highway Trust Fund

The House Transportation & Infrastructure budget reconciliation proposal will now go to the House Rules Committee for further consideration.
