Evidence

Pettersen publicly backed and helped introduce a federal bill matching the claim, but the page only shows introduction rather than enactment or implementation.

Mr. Gottheimer (for himself, Mr. Soto, and Ms. Pettersen) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce. The full title states it is to amend the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 and the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to make breakfasts and lunches free for all children, and for other purposes.

Official legislative record confirms the bill was introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence here of passage, enactment, or program rollout.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Pettersen materially advanced the promise by helping introduce H.R. 8728, the Feed Our Kids Act of 2026, which directly matches the pledge to provide free breakfast, lunch, and afterschool snacks to K-12 students in Colorado and nationwide. However, the available federal record shows introduction and committee referral only, with no passage, enactment, funding, or implementation of universal free meals. Because this was a serious legislative attempt during her current federal term but the promised outcome has not been delivered, the outcome is never with an effort badge.
