House lawmakers are set to receive increased funding for personal security measures, including residential protection and enhanced monitoring. Speaker Mike Johnson and House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil announced an updated Member security framework at the GOP conference, addressing rising concerns over political violence and the Minnesota shootings that highlighted vulnerabilities. The new framework doubles the per-member residential security funding to $20,000, allowing for comprehensive security equipment installation at lawmakers’ homes. Additionally, it increases the monthly monitoring and maintenance allotment from $150 to $5,000 through September, enabling lawmakers to hire licensed security services. These changes come amid heightened fears of political violence, especially following the June shootings in Minnesota that killed a state representative and her husband, injured a state senator and his wife, and raised alarms about potential targets among elected officials. The expansion of Capitol Police partnerships with state and local law enforcement aims to bolster in-district event protection, reflecting growing concerns over the safety of lawmakers both at home and in their communities.
