Luttrell Votes to Advance House Appropriations Package
WASHINGTON — Congressman Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) issued the following statement after the House passed H.R. 6938: the Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026:
“Today's House passage of an appropriations package represents the return to regular order that the American people demanded from the representatives. It’s a testament to Republicans’ commitment to governing responsibly and effectively funding our critical federal agencies. This package also includes essential funding for key Texas initiatives that I’ve championed, including bolstering cybersecurity efforts, equipping law enforcement, combating human trafficking, and preventing flooding in TX-08. I am proud to support H.R. 6938 and look forward to the continued restoration of our constitutional appropriations process.”

- $2.51 million to Sam Houston State University’s Conroe camps for real time cyber monitoring, rapid response and forensic analysis, and cybersecurity training for law enforcement.
