"A total of $10,734,000 in funding for projects in NJ-10, including support for clean water access, job training, educational programming, and infrastructure, was made only possible through McIver's work throughout the House's appropriations process." The release also lists "$1,000,000 for a Youth STEM Innovation and Exploration Program in Newark" and "$250,000 for a Skilled Trades Training Center in Newark."

Official House release shows McIver secured enacted federal funding for STEM programming and skilled trades training, which is concrete progress toward part of the promise.

McIver led New Jersey Democrats to demand the Department of Education reverse course on stripping "$85.5 million in federal funding from 20 New Jersey school districts," saying the funds were earmarked for "vital capital improvements" and that the federal government should be increasing funding for students, teachers, and schools.

McIver took an official public action to protect school funding, which is consistent with the education component of the promise but does not by itself prove full delivery.
