Tonight, the Enhanced Presidential Security Act of 2024 – Representative Mike Lawler's (R-NY-17) bill introduced with Representative Ritchie Torres (D-NY-15) to provide enhanced United States Secret Service protection for former President Trump and Vice President Harris – passed the Senate unanimously.

"I am thrilled to see that the Senate unanimously passed the Enhanced Presidential Security Act tonight, building on the House's overwhelming passage of this measure last week," said Congressman Lawler. "Ensuring that both Vice President Harris and Former President Trump have an equal level of Secret Service protection to President Biden is critical for this election."

"Our elections should be decided at the ballot box, not by a bullet," concluded Congressman Lawler. "This legislation will make sure that they are."

Congressman Lawler is one of the most bipartisan members of the 118th Congress and represents New York's 17th Congressional District, which is just north of New York City and contains all or parts of Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester Counties.
