Evidence
On passage of H.R. 5143, the District of Columbia Policing Protection Act, Haridopolos voted Yea.
Haridopolos submitted a personal explanation saying a line-of-duty deputy sheriff death highlighted the importance of supporting local law enforcement officers, and that he would have voted Yea on the missed roll calls.
Haridopolos's official votes page lists a 02/12/2026 Yea vote on H.R. 2189, the Law-Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate Act.
The official site says Haridopolos applauded passage of FY26 funding to strengthen national and homeland security after the House passed H.R. 7148 and related appropriations legislation.
Assessments
The record in office shows concrete same-term support for law enforcement, including Yea votes on H.R. 2189 and H.R. 5143 and official statements emphasizing support for local officers and public-safety funding. But the promise had two distinct parts: backing law enforcement and defending Second Amendment rights. The evidence provided substantiates the law-enforcement side, while it does not show a specific Second Amendment vote, bill, sponsorship, or other material action establishing delivery of that half of the pledge. Because only part of the promised outcome is demonstrated during his current federal term, the best judgment is partial rather than delivered.
Haridopolos took same-term action consistent with the law-enforcement portion of the promise, including a Yea vote on H.R. 5143 and an official statement supporting local law enforcement after a deputy sheriff line-of-duty death. The provided record does not show concrete action defending Second Amendment rights or a delivered public-safety outcome covering the full combined pledge, so this supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
