He’ll partner with local governments to scale successful local models, like the Denver Preschool Program, and stimulate private-sector investment by modernizing tax credits.
Bennet promises to partner with local governments to scale successful local models for child care, including stimulating private-sector investment by modernizing tax credits.
Occurrences
Evidence
Bennet said he introduced Senate budget-resolution amendments that would expand the Child Tax Credit and reduce child poverty.
The bill text would create a refundable child tax credit with monthly advance payments, and Bennet is listed as a lead sponsor.
The page says Bennet worked with the Biden Administration to enact a one-year Child Tax Credit expansion and continues pushing to make it permanent.
Assessments
Bennet materially advanced the tax-credit portion of the promise by leading and promoting Child Tax Credit expansion legislation and related budget amendments, and his office credits him with helping enact a one-year CTC expansion while he was serving. But the evidence does not show he fully delivered the broader promised outcome of partnering with local governments to scale successful child-care models or comprehensively modernizing tax credits for that purpose. That supports partial rather than full delivery, with the relevant progress occurring during his current Senate service.
