Rep. Buddy Carter said he voted for H.R. 5, the Student Success Act, because it would "reduce the federal footprint in education and restore local control" and put "the keys to our children's education and future back in local control."

Carter publicly backed a concrete education bill as a step toward local control, showing he acted on the promise rather than ignoring it.

The Clerk's roll call log shows H.R. 5, the Student Success Act, passed the House on July 8, 2015 (roll call 423).

There was an official House vote advancing the local-control education bill Carter supported, but passage in one chamber did not itself deliver the broader promise.

GovInfo identifies the Every Student Succeeds Act as Public Law 114-95, the enacted reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.

Congress enacted a major federal education rewrite that reduced some federal controls, but it did not abolish federal involvement or fully return control to local hands.

Carter's current issue page says he supports legislation to "rein in the Department of Education" and "put the keys to our children’s education and future back in local control."

His office still frames the same goal as an ongoing priority, which suggests the promise was not fully completed in a way he would treat as finished.
