I will fight to: Increase Title X and Family Planning Block Funding
Increase Title X and family planning block funding.
Occurrences
OPA administers key programs like Title X, which provides essential family planning services to 2.8 million people... We urge you to immediately reinstate the OPA employees so they can continue to carry out their essential functions.
She signed a letter urging Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to restore all appropriated funding for Title X providers – including in New Hampshire – and coordinate an urgent meeting on the matter.
Evidence
The enacted FY2026 appropriations text provides $286,479,000 for the Title X family planning program: "For carrying out the program under title X of the PHS Act to provide for voluntary family planning projects, $286,479,000."
Goodlander said she joined 100 colleagues urging HHS to reinstate Office of Population Affairs staff, warning that cuts would undermine Title X and threaten health care access for millions.
Assessments
Goodlander showed same-term effort by joining colleagues to press HHS on Title X administration and family planning access. However, the cited enacted FY2026 appropriations maintained Title X funding at $286.479 million rather than increasing it, and the record does not show an increase in Title X or family planning block funding attributable to her. Because there was advocacy but no delivered funding increase, the promise should be scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
