Booker Announces Presidential Security Bill to Bridge Crucial Gaps in Funding
Press Release
Issues: Executive Branch
“After the assassination attempt against the former president in Pennsylvania, and the armed shooter at Mar-a-Lago, it is clear that the Secret Service must have adequate resources to protect presidential candidates. Local law enforcement and first responders are critical partners to the Secret Service, but their support places a significant financial burden on municipalities such as Bedminster, New Jersey. We must ensure the Secret Service’s partners can continue to perform these vital functions by authorizing federal reimbursement of their costs.”
