The House Committee on Appropriations

The United States House Committee on Appropriations is a committee of the United States House of Representatives responsible for passing appropriation bills along with its Senate counterpart. The bills passed by the Appropriations Committee regulate expenditures of money by the government of the United States. As such, it is one of the most powerful of the committees, and its members are seen as influential. They make the key decisions about the work of their committees: when their committees meet, which bills they will consider, and for how long.

The Appropriations committee is widely recognized by political scientists as one of the "power committees," since it holds the power of the purse. It is one of the exclusive committees of the House, meaning its members typically sit on no other committee. Much of the power of the committee comes from the inherent utility of controlling spending. Its subcommittee chairmen are often called "Cardinals" because of the power they wield over the budget.

Congressman Valadao serves on three subcommittees:

The House Committee on Agriculture

The United States House Committee on Agriculture is a standing committee of the United States House of Representatives, responsible for developing legislation related to America’s food supply, agriculture, and rural communities. Working alongside its Senate counterpart, the Committee on Agriculture’s jurisdiction includes farm commodity programs, agricultural trade, nutrition programs, rural development, and research that helps keep American agriculture competitive and resilient. The Committee is also responsible for oversight of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). 
 
The House Committee on Agriculture is best known for writing and advancing the nation’s comprehensive farm policy legislation, the Farm Bill, which is typically reauthorized every five to six years. The Farm Bill is a sweeping legislation which is the primary agricultural and food policy instrument of the federal government. Through its work, the Committee plays a vital role in ensuring a stable food supply, supporting rural economic development, and maintaining the strength of American agriculture.
