Evidence

Bonamici said she would join a Congressional Review Act effort to repeal the Education Department’s finalized rule capping federal student loans, because it would make it harder and more expensive for students to enter public-service professions and would eliminate Grad PLUS.

Concrete same-term action to protect student affordability, but it addresses student loans broadly rather than directly expanding Pell Grants or Federal Work-Study.

The Education Department finalized regulations implementing statutory changes to Pell Grant eligibility and creating Workforce Pell Grants under the Working Families Tax Cuts Act.

Federal student-aid policy continued to shift in a way that Bonamici had not yet directly reversed or expanded through enacted congressional action in the lookback window.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Bonamici took same-term federal action related to college affordability by joining a Congressional Review Act effort against an Education Department student-loan rule that critics said would raise costs and eliminate Grad PLUS. That is a serious attempt to protect student aid access, but the cited action does not show enacted protection or expansion of Pell Grants or Federal Work-Study, and the Pell-related regulatory changes were not shown to be a Bonamici-delivered expansion. Credit is therefore partial rather than delivered.
