We can do more by providing paid family leave, expanding access to affordable childcare, ensuring equal pay for equal work, and raising the minimum wage.
Expand access to affordable childcare.
Occurrences
Evidence
DelBene says she is fighting to make child care more accessible and affordable for working families, and frames that as part of her working-families agenda.
The recent press-release stream in the lookback window centers on high-speed rail, semiconductor manufacturing, a Medicare AI resolution, and district funding announcements; no childcare-specific action is listed on the page.
Assessments
The available evidence shows DelBene continues to advocate for making child care more accessible and affordable, but it does not show a concrete enacted outcome, a clearly attributable expansion she materially delivered, or a documented serious failed push within the review window. Because this is a broad federal policy promise and the record provided shows commitment without a measurable delivery or failure, the claim is best scored as unresolved rather than delivered, partial, or never.
