Evidence
The ad focuses on how Gator Nation counts on Kat to fight for the economy, secure borders, 2nd Amendment freedoms, and the sanctity of life. Cammack said she would "continue to work tirelessly" and "secure our nation’s borders."
Mrs. Cammack introduced H.R. 8952 on September 22, 2022; the bill was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The text would authorize DHS to contain migration surges and suspend entry in certain circumstances.
Rep. Cammack introduced H.R. 5683 on October 22, 2021. The bill was reported to the House on January 21, 2022 and would have required DHS to assess border-support contracts and improve coordination and cost-effectiveness.
Assessments
Cammack made serious federal legislative efforts tied to border security, including introducing H.R. 8952 and H.R. 5683 during her House term. However, the cited bills did not become law, and the evidence does not show that the promised outcome of securing the southern border was delivered through her action. Because the promise is broad and outcome-based, legislative activity alone is not completion, but it warrants an effort badge.
Cammack made concrete same-term legislative efforts related to border security, including introducing H.R. 8952 and H.R. 5683, but the cited bills did not become law and the promised outcome of securing the southern border was not delivered. The campaign statement supports that this was a promise, but not that it was fulfilled.
