Members who choose not to request earmarks

Requesting projects is voluntary, and every cycle some members sit it out — as policy, as principle, or simply without saying. For FY2027, 73 House members and 25 senators have no published project requests. Each name links to their state page; this list was compiled from the same verified sweep as the request disclosures and updates as offices post.

A PUBLIC STANCE, OR ZERO REQUESTS IN THE COMMITTEE'S RECORDS

These members either state that they do not request earmarks, are on record opposing them, or show zero FY2027 entries in the Appropriations Committee's own request records.

NO FY2027 REQUESTS PUBLISHED

No FY2027 project requests were found on these members' official sites, and no stated position either way. Some offices may have requested without posting; this list updates as pages appear.

TOOK OFFICE AFTER THE REQUEST WINDOW

These members joined Congress after FY2027 requests were due in spring 2026, so requesting was not an option for them this cycle.

REQUESTED, BUT NOT POSTED ON THEIR SITE

The Appropriations Committee's FY2027 tables show these members DID request projects; only the website disclosure is missing. They are listed here for completeness, not as non-requesters.
