Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Davis has taken substantial actions aligned with the promise, including sponsoring higher-education access legislation that was enacted through the 2021 appropriations package, supporting education-related appropriations, securing some district-level education funding, and introducing a 2025 child care funding bill. However, the full promise covers several broad outcomes: increased public school funding, support for teachers and educators, expanded early childhood education, and affordable higher education. The evidence shows meaningful progress and at least one delivered component, but not comprehensive delivery across the full education-funding agenda.
