“Sanctuary cities, like New York, make the Biden-Mayorkas border disaster worse by enabling the reckless crisis,” said Rep. Gimenez. “I am proud to join my colleagues in introducing the No Bailouts for Sanctuary Cities Act to ensure no taxpayer money is misspent by bailing out sanctuary cities for their own failed policies.”

Assessments
The verified commitment was a broad promise to oppose sanctuary city policies, not a specific promise to enact a law. During the House term following the 2022 campaign, verified evidence shows Gimenez publicly criticized sanctuary cities and joined colleagues in introducing the No Bailouts for Sanctuary Cities Act. That is a material candidate contribution demonstrating opposition to sanctuary city policies in the same term.
