"Make no mistake, as your member of Congress, I will fight for the resources our students and teachers need to succeed. This means supporting federal funding to uplift teachers and address the issues they face head-on..."
Rep. McIver, LaMonica [D-NJ] 06/12/2025
Rep. LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) led all New Jersey Democrats to demand that the Department of Education reverse course on their decision to strip $85.5 million in federal funding from 20 New Jersey school districts in a letter.
"The federal government should be increasing funding for our students, teachers, and schools..."
Assessments
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.
