The record shows Malliotakis clearly promised to expand parental school choice and took concrete legislative steps toward that goal by sponsoring or cosponsoring multiple school-choice-related bills, including H.R.833, H.R.2798, H.R.3519, and H.R.9462. However, the evidence provided only shows introduction, referral, or advancement to the Union Calendar, not enactment or a completed federal expansion of parental school choice attributable to her. Under the federal standard, serious effort without achieving the promised policy outcome counts as not delivered, with an effort badge.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term A for effort

Malliotakis explicitly promised to support expanding parental school choice. The record shows legislative efforts consistent with the promise, including cosponsoring federal school-choice or charter-school expansion bills in 2024 and 2025, but the cited bills were introduced, referred, or placed on the calendar and did not become law. Because the promised expansion was not actually delivered, but she made serious legislative attempts, the outcome is never with an effort badge.
