Occurrences
Evidence
At the April 28, 2024 debate, Jack said he would have voted against the recent foreign aid package to Ukraine, Israel and others until he was satisfied on border security.
Jack's office stated: "During my campaign, I promised to strengthen law enforcement’s ability to secure our border." The page also says the first bill he co-sponsored in Congress was the Laken Riley Act, which he described as the first bill to pass the House that Congress.
Jack said the legislation "builds President Trump’s Border Wall" and that House Republicans had enacted the bill containing border-wall funding.

Assessments
Jack's campaign statement directly concerned how he would have voted on the 2024 foreign-aid package if serving at that time: he said he would oppose it until satisfied with border security. The evidence does not show he later cast a foreign-aid vote under that condition or materially changed that specific package. After taking office, he did support and co-sponsor border-security measures, including the Laken Riley Act and H.R. 1 border-wall funding, which partially aligns with the border-security condition but does not fully deliver the promised foreign-aid voting action.
The promise concerned a hypothetical vote on a specific 2024 foreign aid package before Jack entered Congress. The evidence confirms he made the campaign statement and later supported border-security measures, but it does not show that he had an opportunity to vote on that foreign aid package or on a directly equivalent package under the stated condition. Later border legislation is related to the policy condition but does not fulfill the promised foreign-aid vote position.
