CONGRESSMAN MOYLAN SECURES ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING FOR GUAM AS GOVERNMENT REOPENS

Congressman James Moylan welcomed passage of the FY2026 federal funding package, which ends the partial government shutdown and funds 96 percent of the federal government. With 11 of 12 appropriations bills now enacted, federal operations have stability through September 30, 2026. Funding for the Department of Homeland Security is extended to February 13 as Congress completes the final bill.

"With nearly all federal funding bills enacted, we've brought certainty back to government operations and avoided prolonged disruption,"said Congressman Moylan. "That progress also reinforces the work already done to secure federal investments that directly benefit Guam's communities."

As part of the FY2026 appropriations, the Commerce, Justice, Science bill secured key public safety investments for Guam. These build on Community Project Funding already approved under the Agriculture and MILCON-VA bills.
