Appropriators offered a mix of military construction and operations and maintenance funding, some with the flexibility to be spent over several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bipartisan House vote saw 132 Republicans vote with the Democratic majority. All 58 \u201cno\u201d votes were Republicans.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/congress\/2019\/05\/10\/storm-ravaged-bases-wait-on-washington-for-repair-money\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1142305056.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Storm-ravaged bases wait on Washington for repair money<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Hundreds of millions of repair dollars are at stake for several stateside military bases.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday\u2019s vote came after three Republican congressmen blocked passage of the bill during a pro forma session on Thursday. One of the objections came from Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, who cited its omission of $4.5 billion for urgent border needs and his concern over the national debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., rebuked those lawmakers in a floor statement ahead of Monday\u2019s vote, saying: \u201cToday we are rejecting the political stunts and grandstanding that have made it difficult to deliver much-needed disaster relief to families and communities across America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The committee\u2019s top Republican, Rep. Kay Granger, of Texas, said the bill\u2019s critical funding for military installations severely damaged by hurricanes and floods \u201cwill return these facilities to a condition that can can support our men and women in uniform and help them get back to the job of protecting our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The delay had caused a domino effect for military construction projects outside the three devastated communities stateside. As funding ran out for recovery efforts in May, the Air Force halted and moved funding from 61 critical infrastructure projects across 18 states and five overseas locations, while the Marine Corps did likewise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On May 23, the GOP-controlled Senate had passed the bill on a bipartisan basis, 85-8, hours after the White House backed off a rigid stance, insisting the bill include $4.5 billion for Department of Homeland Security operations at the border. The vote capped months of negotiations, in which the White House called out what it saw as excessive funding for Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/air\/2019\/04\/30\/the-air-force-is-spinning-toward-a-4-billion-financial-disaster\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/5246760.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">The Air Force is spinning toward a $4 billion financial disaster<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">On May 1, Tyndall Air Force Base will be unable to pay for any new hurricane relief projects at the base.

Don Bacon, who represents a community near Offutt and once served in the Air Force as a wing commander, criticized the Republicans who blocked the bill, telling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omaha.com\/news\/metro\/mueller-report-is-the-biggest-question-at-south-omaha-town\/article_bab7881e-2a41-5a6b-bbb3-4c1559651ef9.html?platform=hootsuite\" target=_blank>the Omaha World-Herald<\/a> they were \u201cgiving our own party a bad name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI thank my colleagues for voting to pass this legislation to help Nebraskans get back on their feet,\u201d Bacon said in a statement after the vote. \u201cWhen natural disasters strike, Americans pull together and lift each other up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m glad the disaster relief bill has finally passed the House.
