Assessments
The promise was framed as an in-Congress effort commitment, not a guarantee that Congress would fully fund every federal education program. Moore materially pursued that goal through later congressional actions, including cosponsoring the IDEA Full Funding Act, introducing education funding legislation, seeking education-related appropriations, and opposing cuts to Title I, IDEA, TRIO, Pell, FAFSA, adult literacy, and related programs. The cited actions occurred well after her initial entry into Congress, so credit is later_term rather than same_term.
