Evidence

Representative Lucy McBath and Senator Jeff Merkley led a bipartisan group of lawmakers to introduce the Early Childhood Workforce Advancement Act. The release says the bill would address the child care workforce shortage by investing in career and technical education (CTE) programs and incentivizing more students to enter the early childhood workforce upon graduation.

McBath took a concrete legislative step within the lookback window by introducing a bill targeted at the child care workforce shortage with CTE investment and incentives, but the action is introduction rather than enactment.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

McBath materially advanced the promised policy by leading introduction of the Early Childhood Workforce Advancement Act, which directly targets the child care workforce shortage through career and technical education investments and incentives. The available evidence shows introduction and sponsorship activity during her current federal term, but not enactment or implementation of the promised legislative outcome. Because this is a serious legislative attempt that has not delivered the full promised outcome, the correct adjudication is partial credit with effort recognized.
