Florida did replace the FCAT with new statewide assessments beginning in the 2014-15 school year, which matches the core policy outcome of getting rid of FCAT and adopting a different measure tied to college and career readiness. However, the evidence attributes that change to Florida state education officials, not to Wilson in her federal House role. The record here shows Wilson broadly opposed high-stakes testing and participated in education debates, but it does not show that she directly caused, sponsored, or materially advanced the state-level replacement of FCAT. Because the outcome occurred but candidate credit is weak, the best judgment is partial rather than full delivery.
