Congress.gov shows Kustoff as a cosponsor of H.R.163, the Finish the Wall Act, introduced in the House on January 3, 2025 and referred to the House Homeland Security Committee and its Border Security and Enforcement subcommittee.
Will support the Finish the Wall Act to complete construction of the border wall.
Occurrences
Evidence
USACE says the BMGR-1 project covers roughly 15 miles in the Barry M. Goldwater Range, the construction contract was awarded on August 15, 2025, and construction began on October 15, 2025.
A DHS waiver published in the Federal Register is being used to accelerate Big Bend border infrastructure, including a 17-mile vehicle-barrier system, roads, lighting, cameras, and surveillance equipment.
Assessments
The evidence shows concrete border-wall-related progress during David Kustoff's current service, including active barrier construction and DHS waivers accelerating additional projects in 2025-2026. But it does not show that the border wall was completed, that the specific Finish the Wall Act was enacted, or that Kustoff himself materially drove these outcomes beyond the general policy alignment of supporting more wall construction. Under federal candidate-credit rules, that supports partial rather than full delivery.
