Pete Aguilar

Aguilar lists "CISA, cybersecurity" alongside the Coast Guard and Secret Service as agencies that "should be funded through the continuation... just like other law enforcement agencies." Even in a highly partisan dispute where Democrats are trying to defund border enforcement (ICE), they explicitly carve out Cybersecurity (CISA) as essential/protected. This reinforces the thesis that cyber spending is "non-discretionary" government spending, immune to even the most severe budget cuts or political gridlock. LONG. Bipartisan support for cyber funding provides a safety net for government contracts in this sector. A total government shutdown (unlikely) would temporarily pause new contract awards.
