Election 2026
Independent, source-first accountability
Issue record
In short
Brian Poindexter's campaign lists no position on this topic on the pages checked. Max Miller's campaign says lawlessness at the southern border brought drugs and human trafficking, and backs a secure border and more funding and support for police. On the record, Miller voted for four border bills and four police safety and support bills in 2025. All passed the House and none is law; none of the police bills was a funding bill.
Campaign positions
No position on the southern border or on law enforcement was found on the campaign site reviewed for this comparison, which sets out four subjects: the economy and cost of living, workers' rights and unions, health care, and American manufacturing.
His campaign says lawlessness at the southern border has brought illicit drugs and human trafficking, that he will continue to fight to maintain a secure border, and that he will fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement.
Evidence timeline
official action
He voted for four police safety and support bills in 2025 that passed the House, but none was a funding bill and none has become law.
His campaign says he will fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement. He voted Yea on passage of four law-enforcement measures in the 119th Congress: the Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act on February 13, 2025 (Roll Call 42), the Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act and the Improving Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act on May 15 (Roll Calls 130 and 131), and the Common-Sense Law Enforcement and Accountability Now in DC Act on November 19 (Roll Call 299). All four passed the House and went to the Senate; none has become law. Limit: The claim has two halves and these votes answer one of them. They go to officer safety, wellness data, and the purchase of a service weapon, which is support; none of the four is an appropriation, so the funding half is not settled by them. None became law.
official action
He voted for all four border bills that got a recorded passage vote in 2025, and all passed the House but none has become law.
His campaign says lawlessness at the southern border has brought illicit drugs and human trafficking, and that he will continue to fight to maintain a secure border. Four border measures reached a recorded vote on passage in the 119th Congress and he voted Yea on all four: the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act on January 16, 2025 (Roll Call 17), the Subterranean Border Defense Act and the Emerging Innovative Border Technologies Act on March 10 (Roll Calls 63 and 65), and the Special Interest Alien Reporting Act on June 26 (Roll Call 184). All four passed the House and were referred to committee in the Senate. None has become law. Limit: Four recorded votes in one Congress, all in the direction the claim states. None of the four became law, so nothing here shows the border changing; and a vote on a named bill is not a score of his whole record on the subject. On the first of them he also voted Nay on a motion to recommit, which is a vote for the bill rather than against it.
