The evidence shows Josh Gottheimer cosponsored federal bills in 2025 to create paid family and medical leave benefits and support universal preschool, but both measures were only introduced and referred to committee. There is no evidence that either promised outcome was enacted or otherwise implemented. This qualifies as a serious legislative effort, but not fulfillment of the promise.
