Gomez's office says he visited a Head Start center, met with parents and educators, and said, “I’ll fight these changes and do everything I can to protect Head Start.”
Assessments
Gomez took concrete federal-office actions aligned with strengthening Head Start, including cosponsoring H.R. 7637 to amend and improve the Head Start Act and publicly opposing proposed rollbacks. However, the cited bill remained referred to committee and no enacted statutory or administrative strengthening attributable to Gomez is shown. That supports partial credit for material effort, not full delivery.
