P10

Border security funding

Increase federal funding for border security and enforcement (CBP, barriers, technology, personnel).

Support, oppose, and no stated position across tracked Democratic House candidates. Counts are candidates, not districts. Only fact-checked answers enter those three buckets. A missing cosponsorship is not an absence — candidates we have not statement-researched yet show as not yet researched and stay out of the share.

Preview only. Production publish waits on Peter. Mixed and unclear stay separate from oppose. No stated position means a checked statement absence only — never a missing cosponsorship — and is never counted as opposition.
