Bills that made it through
HR 7250: To reauthorize the Fort Peck Reservation Rural Water System Act of 2000.
HR 7250 extends the expiration date of the Fort Peck Reservation Rural Water System Act of 2000 from 2026 to 2028. This procedural bill updates the existing authorization for the water system serving the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in Montana. It directly affects the reservation's ability to continue operating its rural water infrastructure under the current federal framework. The change only modifies the sunset date in the law, with no new funding or policy provisions added.
HR 3657: Hydropower Licensing Transparency Act
This bill requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to submit annual reports to Congress about pending hydropower license applications. Specifically, FERC must report on licenses where licensees notified them at least 3 years prior but haven't received new licenses yet, including details like notification dates, docket numbers, application status, and upcoming proceedings. The reports aim to increase transparency in the relicensing process for existing hydropower facilities. This directly affects FERC (which must provide the reports) and Congress (which receives them), with no direct impact on hydropower operators or the licensing outcome itself.
HR 5334: Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026
HR 5334, the SEED Act of 2025, expands the existing educator expense deduction under federal tax law to explicitly include early childhood educators. It revises the Internal Revenue Code to cover expenses for "early childhood educators" and broadens the educational levels affected to include "pre-kindergarten through grade 12." This change allows early childhood educators (such as preschool teachers) to deduct work-related expenses like classroom supplies and professional development costs, which they previously could not claim under the existing deduction for "kindergarten through grade 12" teachers. The amendment applies to expenses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.

HR 2196: National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Extension Act
National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Extension Act This bill reauthorizes the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation to establish in Washington, DC, a monument to commemorate the commitment and service represented by emergency medical services. This authorization expires seven years after enactment of the bill.
HR 5366: Doug LaMalfa Federal Disaster Tax Relief Certainty Act
This bill modifies tax rules to provide relief for individuals affected by major disasters. It allows taxpayers to deduct disaster-related losses (like damaged homes or personal property) more easily by creating a new "disaster loss deduction" that combines certain casualty losses and adjusts for income limits. It also excludes wildfire relief payments (such as compensation for lost wages or home damage not covered by insurance) from taxable income for people in federally declared wildfire areas, effective 2026 through 2030. These changes apply to losses incurred in taxable years starting after 2024, specifically for disasters declared between 2025 and 2027.

Ranked out of 427 of the 439 sitting members: 1 filed nothing for this cycle, 3 report through an earlier date than the rest of the chamber, and 8 report through a later date than the rest of the chamber.
How this is counted
Each member is counted once, from the same Federal Election Commission filings their own profile reads. Only members with a complete record for the cycle that reports through the same period as the rest of their chamber are ranked; the rest are counted beside each ranking and are never ranked as zero.
PAC money and individual money are separate lines on the FEC's summary. They are never added together here, and neither is a member's total receipts, which also include party committee money, the candidate's own money, loans, and transfers.
Each chamber is ranked on its own. A House campaign and a Senate campaign raise over different terms and constituencies, so the two are never placed on one scale.
House amounts cover filings reported through Jun 30, 2026.
Senate amounts cover filings reported through Jun 30, 2026.
