CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING FY25

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 for the fiscal year 2025 budget, I received an impressive number of quality requests.

I submitted the linked projects to the Senate Appropriations Committee for consideration, based largely on Committee-determined eligibility requirements. The Committee will review these projects to determine which to include in the FY25 Senate Appropriations bills. Following this, Congress will negotiate a final spending package. Only those projects included in the final spending package that is passed by Congress and signed into law will receive funding.

This information is shared in accordance with the Committee on Appropriations rules and requirements.
