in Congress, I would be a relentless defender of this legislation from those attacks... and in Congress, I will continue to work with President Biden, his Administration, and Democrats in Congress to make additional investments in the care economy.
In Congress, I will continue to defend the Inflation Reduction Act and work with Democrats to make additional investments in the care economy.

Evidence
On May 5, 2026, Amo said he was 'proud to bring home $450,000 in federal funding' to expand Family Service of Rhode Island's Police GO Team, which provides immediate support to children and families after violence.
On April 16, 2026, Amo challenged OMB Director Russell Vought over cuts to health care, food assistance, and other essential programs that he said are pushing working families to the brink.
Assessments
Amo has taken same-term actions consistent with the promise, including securing $450,000 in federal funding for a family-services program and publicly opposing cuts to health, food assistance, and family-support programs. These actions show effort and some care-adjacent investment, but the evidence does not establish that he delivered broader additional investments in the care economy or materially defended the Inflation Reduction Act in a way that achieved a clear policy outcome. Because the documented work is narrower than the promised outcome, partial credit is appropriate.
