Mike Lawler

Co-leading the Jewish American Security Act

Matches stated record claim

What they say

Lawler identified the Jewish American Security Act as his legislation and elsewhere said he led on it.

What the record shows ·

Daniel Goldman introduced H.R. 9211 June 9, 2026, with Lawler as an original cosponsor. Goldman’s June 10 office announcement describes Goldman and Lawler leading the bipartisan introduction together. The bill proposes $1 billion annually for nonprofit security grants for fiscal 2027-2031, local law-enforcement support for at-risk houses of worship and an Education Department antisemitism coordinator. Its last captured actions are July 7 Homeland Security subcommittee referrals.

Limit: The record supports joint introduction, not sole authorship; Goldman remains the formal sponsor. His office is a participant source. Proposed authorization is not an appropriation, grant award, enacted protection or evidence that antisemitism declined. Debate wording is paraphrased from native captions.
