The candidate will fully fund the Department of Homeland Security for Fiscal Year 2026.
Occurrences
Evidence
GovInfo lists H.R. 7147 as an enrolled bill dated May 1, 2026 with the short title 'Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026' and the full title 'An Act Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes.'
The House amendment to the Senate amendment would have extended the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 by striking the prior end date and inserting 'May 22, 2026,' and it explicitly ties that extension to division H of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 (Public Law 119-75).
Public Law 119-75 identifies 'DIVISION H—FURTHER CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2026' and states that division H amends the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 by changing the stopgap end date to February 13, 2026.
Assessments
The evidence shows DHS funding for FY2026 was maintained through continuing appropriations measures, including Public Law 119-75 and H.R. 7147, with stopgap extensions into 2026. That keeps DHS funded temporarily but does not fulfill the promise to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security for the full fiscal year through a complete appropriations enactment. Because the stopgap funding occurred while Fitzpatrick remained in federal office, timing is same_term, but the outcome is only partial rather than delivered.
