This is a list of Congresswoman Moore’s Community Funding Project requests to the House Appropriations Committee for potential inclusion in the House’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 appropriation bills. Inclusion on this list does not ensure the House Appropriations Committee will fund the project. Only those projects that are included in the FY 26 funding bills that are signed into law will be funded. Below are brief summaries of the projects and a letter for each project certifying that neither Congresswoman Moore or her immediate family have any financial interests in that project.
