I further believe we must sufficiently fund our public universities to make them affordable for all Americans.
Sufficiently fund public universities so they are affordable for all Americans.

Evidence
The Education issue page says the latest listed education items are from September 18, 2023, August 24, 2023, and April 26, 2023, with no newer education-specific entries shown on the page.
McGarvey said he secured $12,354,000 in FY26 community funding, including $850,000 for Simmons College of Kentucky’s new Westover Campus and $850,000 to replace Jefferson Community and Technical College’s downtown campus parking lot with a modern mixed-use facility.
Congress.gov lists McGarvey as an original cosponsor of H.R.3543, the College for All Act of 2025, which the bill text describes as amending the Higher Education Act of 1965 to ensure College for All.
Assessments
McGarvey has taken relevant steps, including original cosponsorship of the College for All Act of 2025 and support for local higher-education project funding. However, the broad promised outcome of sufficiently funding public universities so they are affordable for all Americans has not been enacted or otherwise delivered. The legislative activity shows a serious attempt, but the bill has not passed and the local funding does not satisfy the national affordability promise.
