 “When I first came into office, I committed to making the appropriations process a fair and open process for all Virginians.  I invited everyone who was interested in the appropriations process to work with my office on their requests.”

- Senator Webb
Maintaining an Open, Interactive Appropriations Process
Congress has a constitutional role to play in assembling the federal budget. This process should be conducted with proper transparency and input from Virginians. 

Senator Mark Warner and I consider all annual appropriations requests collaboratively to ensure that Virginia’s interests are well represented.  We examine appropriations projects based on two principal factors: first, they must represent a wise and prudent investment of tax dollars; second, requests for such projects are considered in an open, transparent manner.
