Support our military with the resources they need... Increase funding for our police, firefighters, and EMS
I will increase funding for the military, police, firefighters, and EMS.
Occurrences
Evidence
The official homepage's latest-news block in the lookback window lists June 9, 2026 childcare legislation, May 20, 2026 air-travel legislation, and May 19, 2026 health-care-provider funding. I did not find a homepage item showing a new military, police, firefighter, or EMS funding increase in that window.
On March 20, 2026, Mackenzie introduced a resolution calling on Congress to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security immediately and in full. The release says DHS operations and frontline personnel were being affected by an appropriations lapse, and that partial funding would undermine coordination and preparedness.
The press-release archive says that on March 26, 2026, Mackenzie's DHS funding resolution passed the House alongside the latest appropriations bill funding the department. The archive notes DHS staff, including Coast Guard, FEMA, and TSA employees, were affected.
Assessments
The available evidence does not show that Ryan Mackenzie delivered an actual increase in funding for the specific promised categories of military, police, firefighters, and EMS. What it does show is that in March 2026 he introduced and helped pass a House resolution tied to immediate DHS funding, which is related to public-safety and homeland-security spending but is not the same as securing new funding increases for the named groups. That supports partial credit for a related funding action during his current federal term, but not full delivery of the broader promise.
