Assessments
McIver publicly committed to supporting federal funding for teachers and education, and while in office she took concrete steps such as cosponsoring H.R.1331 and leading a letter defending education funding. However, the cited bill remained introduced and there is no evidence the promised funding increase or broader teacher-support outcome was actually delivered, so this is a serious but unsuccessful attempt rather than fulfillment.
McIver promised to support federal funding for teachers. In the same term, she cosponsored H.R.1331 to authorize teacher and school leader quality partnership grants and led a letter opposing cuts to federal education funding for New Jersey districts. The grant bill did not become law, but the promise was framed as supporting federal funding rather than securing enactment or a funding increase, so the documented legislative and executive-facing actions satisfy the promised support.
