The committee held a hearing with Secretary Linda McMahon, and Walberg’s opening statement said the Trump administration was delivering reforms to make education less expensive, improve outcomes, and empower states and local communities.

Concrete same-window collaboration between Walberg and McMahon on education policy, consistent with the pledge to continue working together.

ED finalized Workforce Pell rules effective July 1, 2026, after negotiated rulemaking and public comment, advancing a student-to-workforce agenda that Walberg has publicly backed in committee remarks.

A concrete federal policy change in the shared education/workforce agenda shows continued implementation, though not a standalone Walberg action.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Walberg made a same-term public and institutional effort toward the promise by holding a committee hearing with Secretary Linda McMahon, publicly aligning with her education agenda, and stating an intent to continue working with her. The Workforce Pell final rule also reflects movement on a related student/workforce-centered policy agenda, but the record does not show Walberg himself delivered the broad promised outcome of creating an education system that puts students over bureaucracies. This supports partial credit for active effort and related policy advancement, not full delivery.
