Appropriations

As a fiscally-conservative Member of the Blue Dog coalition and a former business owner, I believe Congress must spend with the utmost care.  I am dedicated to a transparent earmark process; therefore, all appropriations requests that I submit to the Appropriations Committee for funding will be made public and posted on my website.  This year I am adding an extra layer of accountability.  All projects must have at least one letter of support from a state or local official indicating why the project is important to the community.  I believe it is part of my job to bring your hard-earned tax dollars home to Southern Arizona in meaningful ways.

If you would like to make an appropriations request for Fiscal Year 2011, please email Appropriations.Giffords@mail.house.gov.  All applications are due by 5:00 PM on Friday, February 19, 2010.
