Rep. Flood Secures Inclusion of $2.9 Million for First District Projects in Federal Funding Package

January 14, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood released a statement following the recent House passage of a three-bill funding package, H.R. 6938. The bill provides Fiscal Year 2026 funding for priorities related to commerce, justice, water development, and other critical areas.

“I am pleased to announce that through the appropriations process, I have secured inclusion of $2.9 million in funding for projects in the First District,” said Congressman Flood. “From purchasing new police cruisers in Lincoln to helping fund a local wastewater treatment project in Scribner and more, these projects will help Nebraska grow and keep our communities safe. I want to thank my colleagues for helping make these projects a reality and our local officials who worked with my team to prepare them for consideration.”

As part of this appropriations package, Congressman Flood helped secure more than $2.9 million in federal funding for projects across Nebraska’s First District, detailed below:

$1,200,000 to the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office equipment and body-worn cameras.
$750,000 to the City of Scribner for their wastewater treatment improvement project.
$500,000 for detention alternative youth shelter enhancements.
$474,842 to the Lincoln Police Department for the purchase of cruisers.

In addition to the Community Project Funding requests, the appropriations package advances American energy independence, increases funding for the Drug Enforcement Administration, helps modernize America’s nuclear weapons stockpile, as well as exempts farms and livestock producers from burdensome, out-of-touch greenhouse gas permitting and reporting requirements, amid other commonsense wins.

The funding package awaits Senate action before it needs the President’s signature to become law.
