Occurrences
She also will continue fighting to cancel debt for past and current students who are struggling to pay off their loans.
Evidence
"As one of the congressional leaders of the movement to cancel student debt, I know today's announcement must be a first step, not the last step... I look forward to continuing to work with President Biden and Secretary Cardona to provide continued relief to American families. As long as the debt is too damn high, we still have work to do in Congress."
The resolution was introduced in the House on February 4, 2021, and referred to the Committee on Education and Labor and the Committee on Ways and Means. Ms. Adams was listed among the cosponsors.
Rep. Adams introduced the Parent Plus Parity Act on September 23, 2024; the bill was referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and remained in the introduced state.
Assessments
The promise was framed as continuing to fight for student debt cancellation, not guaranteeing full cancellation. Adams took concrete same-term actions supporting broad federal student debt relief, including cosponsoring H.Res.100 calling for executive cancellation and publicly pressing for continued relief after the Biden administration's 2022 plan. Later introduction of the Parent Plus Parity Act further supports ongoing effort, though it did not become law. Because the pledged action was continued advocacy and legislative effort, the promise is fulfilled even though full student debt cancellation was not enacted.
The promise was framed as continuing to fight for student debt cancellation, not guaranteeing enactment of cancellation. Adams took same-term public and legislative actions consistent with that promise, including cosponsoring H.Res.100 in 2021 calling for broad executive student debt cancellation and issuing a 2022 statement committing to continued work on debt relief. Later introduction of the Parent Plus Parity Act further supports ongoing advocacy, though it was not necessary to establish fulfillment of the effort-based promise.
