Evidence
Under "Securing the Southern Border," the campaign said: "We must take immediate action to secure our southern border" and that in Congress Tony would prioritize "finishing President Trump's border wall," "reinstuting President Trump's Remain in Mexico Policy," and ensuring border agents have the funding they need.
The campaign said Wied released a TV ad focused on securing the southern border and quoted him saying it was "imperative we secure the border on Day One" and that Republicans need to "finish President Trump's border wall, crack down on cartels, and stop the deadly drugs pouring into our communities."

Assessments
The promise was broad and outcome-based: secure the border by finishing the wall, restoring Remain in Mexico, cracking down on cartels, stopping drug flows, and funding border agents. The evidence shows Wied campaigned on this and, once in federal office, supported immigration and border-related measures including the Laken Riley Act and DHS/appropriations votes. Those are meaningful same-term efforts, but the record provided does not show that the southern border was actually secured or that the specific promised policies were completed through Wied's action. Because he materially supported related federal measures but did not deliver the promised outcome, this merits partial credit with an effort badge.
The promise was a broad outcome pledge to secure the southern border, including finishing the border wall, reinstating Remain in Mexico, cracking down on cartels, and stopping drug flows. The evidence shows Wied supported related immigration and border-security measures, including votes for the Laken Riley Act and DHS/appropriations procedures, but it does not show the promised border-security outcome was delivered. Because there were serious legislative efforts but the promised outcome remains unfulfilled, the correct adjudication is never with an effort badge.
