Earmarks

Hoyle proposed $27 million in earmarks for fiscal year 2024, including:

  • $4 million to City of Springfield, Oregon for “Mill Street Reconstruction, Springfield, OR, OR-04”
  • $4 million to City of North Bend for “City of North Bend Affordable Workforce Housing Project - City of North Bend, Coos County, Oregon, 4th Congressional District”
  • $2.8 million to City of Oakridge, Oregon for “Willamette Activity Center Renovation Project, Oakridge, OR”

These are earmark requests which may or may not survive the legislative process to becoming law. Most representatives from both parties requested earmarks for fiscal year 2024. Across representatives who requested earmarks, the median total amount requested for this fiscal year was $39 million.

Earmarks are federal expenditures, tax benefits, or tariff benefits requested by a legislator for a specific entity. Rather than being distributed through a formula or competitive process administered by the executive branch, earmarks may direct spending where it is most needed for the legislator's district. All earmark requests in the House of Representatives are published online for the public to review. We don’t have earmark requests for senators. The fiscal year begins on October 1 of the prior calendar year. Source: Appropriations.house.gov. Background: Earmark Disclosure Rules in the House

We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses, major life events, and running for higher office.
