Rep. Barry Moore supports military construction and VA funding

Washington, D.C.- Today, Rep. Barry Moore (AL-01) issued the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Fiscal Year 2026 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act:

“Today, House Republicans stood up for America’s heroes - our veterans and warfighters - by passing a responsible and America-first appropriations bill that prioritizes their needs," said Moore. "This legislation delivers key investments that will strengthen Alabama’s military infrastructure and our veteran community. It helps ensure our bases remain ready, our VA facilities remain strong, and our state continues to play a leading role in defending the nation."

The FY26 MILCON-VA bill provides full funding for VA medical care, benefits, and electronic health record modernization, while including strong oversight provisions to protect taxpayer dollars. The bill also invests in military construction projects vital to readiness and national security, including upgrades for Guard and Reserve facilities, housing for servicemembers and their families, and critical infrastructure supporting U.S. strategic deterrence.
