Assessments
Davis fulfilled the broad promise to support child safety, health, and well-being policies by voting for enacted federal laws such as CHIP reauthorization and the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, and by cosponsoring and voting for the Supporting America's Children and Families Act. These were direct legislative actions in his federal House office and resulted in enacted child-focused protections and services.
