Assessments
Evans promised to continue fighting to fully fund DHS and critical agencies. During his first House term, he served on the Homeland Security Committee, voted for H.R.1968, which became Public Law 119-4 and funded federal agencies including DHS components through FY2025, and voted for H.R.1, which became Public Law 119-21 and provided major supplemental appropriations for CBP, ICE, FLETC, and related DHS priorities. His supported standalone FY2026 DHS appropriations bill passed the House but was not enacted, so not every DHS funding vehicle was completed, but enacted same-term DHS funding and his affirmative votes are enough to credit the promise as delivered in the federal representative context.
