the federal role in education should be reduced wherever possible, and the federal government should never be allowed to impose top-down dictates like Common Core on states.
Continue working to reduce the federal role in education wherever possible.

Assessments
Foxx has materially advanced efforts consistent with reducing the federal role in education through Education and Workforce Committee activity, including a July 15, 2026 package aimed at right-sizing the Department of Education and a May 14, 2026 oversight hearing. However, the evidence shows committee advancement and scrutiny rather than enacted federal changes or a completed reduction in federal education authority. Because the activity occurred while she remains in federal office, timing is same_term.
The evidence shows same-term committee activity scrutinizing Department of Education policies, which is consistent with Foxx continuing to work toward reducing the federal role in education. However, it does not show an enacted law, executive result, or other concrete reduction in federal education authority attributable to Foxx. Because the promise is broad and activity-based, this supports partial credit for effort, not full delivery.
