$71 billion for transporta­tion, housing in

2019

Voting 244 for and 180 against, the House on Thursday passed a bill that would appropriat­e $26.6 billion for the Department of Transporta­tion and $44.5 billion for the Department of Housing and Urban Developmen­t in fiscal 2019. This was one of four spending bills passed by the Democratic-led House during the week in an effort to reopen department­s and agencies partially closed since Dec. 22. But the GOP-led Senate has refused to consider the bills until Democrats and President Trump resolve their dispute over funding the president's proposed U.S.-Mexico border. A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate.

Yes: Fitzpatric­k, Dean, Houlahan, Wild, Cartwright

No: Meuser
