George Logan’s History of Voting to Defund Law Enforcement

Since taking the majority, House Republicans have gone out of their way to defund local and federal law enforcement.

Every single vulnerable House Republican voted for the ‘Default on America Act.’ This dangerous legislation would have cut up to $10 billion from federal law enforcement agencies and jeopardized nearly 30,000 jobs. These cuts would have included:

  • $2.8 billion from the FBI budget, resulting in the loss of 11,000 agents, analysts, and staff.

  • $162 million from the Capitol Police budget, resulting in the loss of 600 sworn officers.

  • $580 million from federal prosecutors in charge of prosecuting hate crimes, terrorism and more, resulting in the loss of 3,400 prosecutors and staff.

  • An average cut of $30,000 in federal grant money to local law enforcement agencies across the country.

George Logan’s record proves he’d join his extreme Republican Party to work against the interests of law enforcement in Congress. In the Connecticut General Assembly, Logan voted against an agreement to increase police wages and hazard pay. 

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“George Logan has a history of voting against Connecticut’s police who keep our communities less safe. Connecticut families can’t afford Logan’s extremism.”
