The promise was to preserve Head Start funding in federal office. Davids voted for FY2026 appropriations that passed the House and included continued Head Start funding, and HHS awarded a $1.9 million Head Start grant to an in-district program during her term. Because the outcome reflects continued federal Head Start resources with direct same-term participation by Davids, this counts as delivered rather than merely partial.
