I will continue to fight for the fairness that teachers deserve with supporting legislation to fix the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) ... as well as other bills and provisions to restore and help our public education system.
Continue fighting for fairness for teachers by supporting legislation to fix the Windfall Elimination Provision and other measures that restore and help public education.
Occurrences
Evidence
Babin’s campaign priorities page says he would continue fighting for fairness for teachers by supporting legislation to fix the Windfall Elimination Provision and other measures to restore and help public education.
Congress.gov identifies H.R. 3934 as a bill that would replace the WEP with a new formula, and the cosponsor list includes Rep. Brian Babin as an original cosponsor.
Babin wrote that he was proud to cosponsor H.R. 3934, saying it would support teachers; the same newsletter says staff discussed how the WEP affects Texas educators.
The House Ways and Means Committee says H.R. 3934 would replace the Windfall Elimination Provision with a fairer formula treating teachers, police officers, firefighters, and other public servants like other workers.
Assessments
Babin made a concrete same-term legislative effort on the central part of the promise by serving as an original cosponsor of H.R. 3934, a bill to replace the Windfall Elimination Provision with a new formula affecting teachers and other public servants, and he publicly tied that support to educators. However, the evidence only shows support and advocacy for WEP reform, not full enactment or a broader record of delivering the promised 'other measures' to restore and help public education. That supports a partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
