In collaboration with Demand Progress, GovTrack now shows representatives' earmark requests for FY2024. Here's Republican Rep. Weber's $686 million in requested earmarks (almost 20 times the median across legislators with earmark requests; compare to his demagoguery about the national debt lolz). https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/randy_weber/412574

Most representatives from both parties requested earmarks. There's nothing wrong with that: Earmarks may direct spending where it is most needed in each district.
