Reschenthaler Votes to Advance Appropriations Package Containing Funding for PA-14

WASHINGTON, D.C.— Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) voted to advance the Fiscal Year 2026 (FY 2026) Consolidated Appropriations Act to the Senate. The legislation contains $8.5 million, requested by Reschenthaler, to support road construction in the 14th Congressional District of Pennsylvania.

This bill represents the last set of projects requested by Reschenthaler during the FY 2026 process, totaling nearly $215 million for southwestern Pennsylvania. The legislation now awaits passage by the United States Senate and President Trump's signature.

"I was proud to vote for the FY 2026 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which reinforces the House’s commitment to regular, full-year appropriations, advances conservative priorities, and supports President Trump's agenda,” said Reschenthaler. “This package passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support and includes the remaining Community Project Funding I requested for southwestern Pennsylvania. These projects, totaling $215 million, will modernize our locks and dams, strengthen infrastructure, and benefit law enforcement, veterans, first responders, and local communities. I look forward to the legislation being signed into law and the funding reaching the deserving recipients who will use it to improve our region."

The FY 2026 Consolidated Appropriations Act, passed today, included the following projects:

  • $7.0 million for the Thompson's Crossing Business Park in Fayette County, PA.
