Schumer: More money needed for senators’ security after Minnesota shootings

by Alexander Bolton - 06/17/25 11:22 AM ET

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) told reporters Tuesday that Congress needs to spend significantly more money on senators’ personal security in the wake of an attack that killed a Minnesota state lawmaker over the weekend.

Schumer said that threats against senators and other elected officials have increased dramatically in recent years and that Capitol police will put together a comprehensive menu of options to better protect lawmakers when they’re away from the Capitol.

“The Capitol police and the [Senate] Sergeant at Arms gave a very detailed discussion about how they can protect members here, back in our states, in our homes, in our offices. The violences, the threats against elected officials, including people in the Senate, has dramatically increased,” he said.

“That means we need more protection. We need more money,” he said.

Schumer said that Sens. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and David McCormick (R-Pa.) both proposed spending more money on senators’ security.

Wouldn't all Senators be safer if they spent more time at the Capitol doing their jobs?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

They should get no more security than they allow Any other American citizen, since Scmucky is from New York, which for all intents and purposes denies their residents their right to defend themselves, I say Schmucky is SOL just like the majority of his constituency.
