The House Clerk recorded H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, passing 217-214, with Davids (KS) voting Yea.
Assessments
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.
