Evidence

The Budd campaign said its first primary TV ad featured Budd on the southern border, 'promising to finish the Wall started under President Trump,' and said he would 'fight the hardest' to get border patrol agents what they need in the Senate.

This is the campaign-era promise tying Budd to finishing the wall and supporting border agents.

Congress.gov shows Sen. Budd as sponsor of S.422, the Build the Wall Now Act, introduced on 2023-02-14. The bill would resume border-barrier construction and require DHS to consult with the labor organization representing border patrol agents. Its status is 'Introduced' and the latest action is referral to committee.

Budd took a concrete legislative step to resume wall construction, but the measure did not advance beyond introduction.

Budd's office said he co-sponsored the Secure Our Border Act, which would require DHS to resume border wall construction and increase the number of Border Patrol agents. The post describes the bill as proposed legislation rather than enacted law.

Budd continued to advocate for wall funding and more border agents through a Senate bill, but there is no indication of enactment here.

Assessments

never later_term A for effort

Budd promised during his 2022 U.S. Senate campaign to fight for finishing the border wall and increasing resources for border agents. After taking Senate office, he sponsored or co-sponsored legislation aimed at resuming border wall construction and increasing Border Patrol resources, including the Build the Wall Now Act and Secure Our Border Act. However, the provided evidence shows these measures remained proposed legislation and did not become law or deliver the promised outcome. This supports a serious legislative effort but not fulfillment.
