House members to see their home security budget doubled under new safety guidelines

House members will have more access to home security, following an increase in threats and safety concerns. The announcement came from Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) on Tuesday, the Chairman of the Committee on House Administration which oversees Capitol security enforcements.

The framework will aim to “address security gaps and alleviate Members’ concerns while fulfilling their duties as elected officials, particularly in their districts and residences.”
