U.S. Representative Juan Ciscomani Applauds House Passage of FY2027 National Security Funding Bill

Washington, D.C. - Representative Juan Ciscomani applauded today's House passage of the Fiscal Year 2027 National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs (NSRP) Appropriations Act. As Arizona's sole appropriator in Congress and a member of the NSRP subcommittee, Rep. Ciscomani helped advance the legislation, which strengthens America's national security while reducing discretionary spending by 6% compared to Fiscal Year 2026.

The FY2027 NSRP bill allocates $47.32 billion to reinforce America's national security priorities, confront global adversaries, aggressively combat the flow of fentanyl into the United States, and guarantee responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

"America's security is non-negotiable, and this legislation sends an unmistakable message: we will not tolerate threats to our nation, our allies, or our communities," said Rep. Juan Ciscomani. "Through this powerful bill, we are reigning in wasteful spending, ensuring the responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars, unleashing resources to crush the fentanyl crisis at its root, and standing firm against foreign adversaries who seek to undermine our way of life. As Arizona's sole appropriator, I fought relentlessly to ensure Southern Arizona's security needs were front and center. Today's passage of the 2027 National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs (NSRP) Appropriations Act is a clear step forward for our nation-America will always lead, defend, and prevail."

Key Provisions Included in the FY27 NSRP Appropriations Act:

• Cuts discretionary spending by 6% from FY2026 levels.
• Strengthens America's alliances and vigorously counters Communist China.
• Directs $1.8 billion to aggressively counter China's influence in the Indo-Pacific.
• Prioritizes decisive efforts to eradicate fentanyl and illicit drug trafficking.
• Blocks U.S. resources from benefiting the Chinese Communist Party.
• Unequivocally prohibits funding for the Taliban.

Representative Ciscomani remains committed to advancing policies that strengthen America's national security posture on the global stage, secure the southern border, and ensure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly.

The House-passed FY27 NSRP Appropriations Act now moves to the Senate for further consideration.
