Key Vote Alert – House – YES – Norman Amendment #85 to Strip Earmarks
The Club for Growth urges all Representatives to vote YES on the Norman Amendment #85. The results of this vote will be included in the Club for Growth Foundation’s 2026 congressional scorecard.
Earmarks are the currency of corruption. In recent years, the Swamp has tried to rebrand earmarks as “Community Funding Projects” or “Congressionally Directed Spending.” But as American poet James Whitcomb Riley is credited as saying, “if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck.” H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, is littered with earmarks supporting outrageous spending prioritized by some Senators.
Less than a year ago, many Members of Congress gushed over Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Oddly, when it comes time for Congress to reassert its power of the purse, too many Members of Congress refuse to make spending cuts to reduce the deficit, and instead there is a relapse for the addiction to more federal spending, which is accommodated alongside pork projects.
The Norman Amendment would strip earmarks from Division B, which is the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and related Agencies. Club for Growth strongly encourages all Representatives to vote YES.
Club for Growth Foundation’s Congressional Scorecard for the 119th Congress provides a comprehensive rating of how well or how poorly each member of Congress supports pro-growth, free-market policies and will be distributed to the public.
