Assessments
Moore promised to keep fighting for increased federal funding for after-school programs. The evidence shows concrete later-term delivery: the American Rescue Plan provided major education funding with explicit afterschool set-asides and allowable uses, and Moore voted for final House passage. Congress also increased 21st Century Community Learning Centers funding from FY2022 to FY2023 by $40 million, and Moore voted for the omnibus tied to that increase. FY2024 maintenance of the same funding level does not negate the earlier increase.
