Congressman Davis secured $250,000 for Thomas More College in the Financial Services Appropriations Bill for Fiscal Year 2008. Thomas More College plans to use the funds to expand its current curriculum offered in the health care fields by creating the Center for Regional Sciences and Health Care Management. Learn more here.
Federal funds are essential to many critical projects in congressional districts throughout the country, including Kentucky’s Fourth District. I frequently meet with constituents and local officials about the need for federal funding in their community. They submit detailed applications for federal funding to my office. All those applications undergo a thorough review to determine which projects are eligible and appropriate for federal funding.
On March 11, 2010, the House Republican Conference adopted new rules that imposed a one year moratorium on earmarks for Fiscal Year 2011. The new rules also required Republican offices to withdraw previously submitted requests for the 2009 Surface Transportation Authorization Bill and Water Resources Development Act of 2010.
In the interest of transparency, I am maintaining this page and disclosure of projects I have requested in the past.
I’m proud of the important projects throughout the Fourth District for which I have secured funding in past years, like the Brent Spence Bridge, important water and sewer projects, and health and manufacturing programs at our local colleges and universities, among many others.
I’ve consistently supported earmark reform measures to make this process more open and transparent since I was first elected to Congress. While many positive changes to the earmarking process have already been implemented over the past few years, I am hopeful that the one year moratorium will allow additional time to ensure that the process is more transparent and accountable than ever.
