House Members Get More Funding for Security

“House lawmakers are getting a boost to funds they can use for their own security, including at their homes,” Politico reports.

“The updated framework will double funding for residential security to $20,000 per member to ‘allow for a more comprehensive suite of security equipment to be installed at their residences,’ according to a memo distributed to lawmakers. Members will be able to put $10,000 toward physical upgrades to their residence for security purposes under an existing program.”
