Moving forward, I will stand firmly with law enforcement, ensuring our police officers, deputies, and first responders have the resources, training, and legal support they need.
Stand with law enforcement and work to ensure police officers, deputies, and first responders have the resources, training, and legal support they need.
Occurrences
Evidence
Reporting on McCormick's campaign ad said he stated, "I stand with police," and noted endorsements from the Pennsylvania Fraternal Order of Police and Pennsylvania State Troopers Association.
Congress.gov lists McCormick as a Pennsylvania Republican senator in Congress from 2025 to present, with member activity including sponsored and cosponsored legislation and a Crime and Law Enforcement subject category.
The Senate roll call for S. 5, the Laken Riley Act, shows the bill passed 64-35 on January 20, 2025, and lists McCormick (R-PA) as voting Yea.
Public Law 119-1 requires DHS custody for covered aliens charged with, arrested for, convicted of, or admitting burglary, theft, shoplifting, assault of a law enforcement officer, or serious-injury crimes, and requires detainers and custody.
Public Law 119-21 appropriates $750 million for Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers, including at least $285 million for training newly hired federal law enforcement personnel and state and local law enforcement agencies supporting DHS; it also increases Byrne JAG and COPS funding for violent-crime, criminal-enforcement, and immigration-enforcement initiatives.
The Senate final-passage roll call for H.R. 1 records the chamber's 51-50 passage of the bill on July 1, 2025; McCormick voted with the Republican majority in favor.
Assessments
McCormick’s 2025 Senate votes helped enact same-term federal laws that provided law-enforcement resources and training, including H.R. 1 funding for Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers, Byrne JAG, and COPS-related initiatives, and the Laken Riley Act provisions involving custody for offenses including assault of a law enforcement officer. That supports candidate credit in federal office. However, the evidence does not show a comprehensive fulfillment covering police officers, deputies, first responders, training, resources, and legal support broadly, so this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
