Will support and pass funding bills that pay TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA workers and fund critical homeland security agencies.

The best way to get our TSA workers paid is to pass the bill that I cosponsored in the House ... Passing our bill, paying TSA workers will shorten airport lines and help us prepare for wildfire season.

She says she will keep pushing the House bill to pay TSA workers and fund critical security agencies like TSA, the Coast Guard, and FEMA.

Leger Fernández Opposes Blank Check for ICE; Reiterates Pay for TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA Bill Must Be Passed | Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández

"I support the mission of agencies from TSA to the Coast Guard, and FEMA to the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency... That’s why I’ve consistently pushed to fund them—and voted to make sure TSA agents, Coast Guard members, and FEMA personnel get paid and can do their jobs."

Direct member-office statement shows she publicly supported and voted for funding that pays TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA personnel, but the item also indicates continued opposition tied to ICE/CBP funding conditions, so it is not a clean final delivery record by itself.

Roll Call Number: 102 ... Vote Question: On Agreeing to the Resolution, as Amended ... Status: Passed ... yea: 225 ... nay: 187 ... not voting: 7

Official roll-call page confirms she voted on a March 26, 2026 House measure described as expressing support for DHS, but this was a resolution rather than the appropriations bill itself, so it supports effort rather than full delivery of the funding-bills promise.

Clerk of the House - Member Votes for H. Res. 1128
secondary · model gpt-5.4-mini · confidence 84%

"Today Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández (D-NM) voted for the Fiscal Year 2026 federal spending minibus (H.R. 6938) which funds community projects in New Mexico and delivers key policy victories for the state."

Shows an earlier appropriations vote in the term, but the bill was not the TSA/Coast Guard/FEMA homeland-security funding bill at issue, so it is only weak contextual evidence of willingness to support funding legislation.

The office invites programmatic, language, and community project funding requests for Fiscal Year 2027 and lists Homeland Security among appropriations categories.

Current appropriations-page logistics show continued engagement with the appropriations process, but do not prove enactment or passage of the specific funding bills for TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA.

Approps | Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández
secondary · model gpt-5.4-mini · confidence 55%

"This bill provides appropriations to several federal departments and agencies for the remainder of FY2026 and provides continuing FY2026 appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through February 13, 2026."

Official bill history confirms enactment of a FY2026 appropriations package that included continuing DHS funding, but it does not specifically establish that Leger Fernández supported passage of the later, more targeted TSA/Coast Guard/FEMA funding push.

All Info - H.R.7148 - Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026
secondary · model gpt-5.4-mini · confidence 58%

The committee press release says Democrats introduced a bill to fully fund DHS agencies including TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard.

Committee-level evidence shows the funding effort existed in the chamber, but it is not member-specific and does not show final passage or Leger Fernández's decisive action on this lookback window.

Committee action and floor procedural details show H. Res. 1128 was considered in late March 2026 as part of the DHS funding fight.

Supports the existence of a contemporaneous legislative effort around DHS funding, but a resolution is not the funding bill itself and does not establish that the promise was fully delivered.

secondary · model gpt-5.4-mini · confidence 46%

The hearing was scheduled for April 16, 2026 and listed TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA among the DHS witnesses/subjects.

Shows the appropriations process remained active within the lookback window, but it is process evidence only, not proof of passage or enactment.
