Trump proposes cutting CISA election security program in FY27 budget

**Executive Summary:** The Trump administration's proposed 2027 budget seeks to eliminate roughly $700 million in CISA programs (net reduction of about $360 million) and cut roughly 867 positions—eliminating the agency's election security program and EI-ISAC support, scaling back stakeholder engagement and chemical security, transferring some WMD-related functions into CISA, while retaining certain technical cybersecurity investments and funding limited preparations for the 2028 Olympics and CIRCIA implementation; stakeholders warn these cuts could weaken national cyber defense and coordination.
