in Congress, I will fight for funding for early childhood education and voluntary pre-K programs
Fight for funding for early childhood education and voluntary pre-K programs.
Occurrences
Evidence
"Early childhood education is one of the most important investments our country can make," said Congressman Veasey. "Programs such as Early Head Start and Head Start are critical to ensure that we level the playing field so that all our children succeed. That is why I will continue to advocate for adequately funding the Early Childhood Education programs."
The letter is co-led by Rep. Marc Veasey (TX-33) and ... called for a total funding increase of $6.17 billion to CCDBG to address the nation’s child care crisis
Assessments
The promise was to fight for funding, not to secure a specific statutory funding level. The evidence shows Veasey publicly advocated for early childhood education funding, highlighted Head Start funding for Dallas County, and co-led or joined a congressional push for a $6.17 billion increase to child care funding. That is concrete advocacy consistent with the promised action during his term.
