GovInfo lists H.R. 8728, the Feed Our Kids Act of 2026, as sponsored by Josh Gottheimer. The action listed is introduction and referral to the House Committee on Education and Workforce on May 11, 2026. The bill would make school breakfasts and lunches free for all children.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The latest official bill record found after the September 1-3, 2026 lookback still shows Gottheimer's K-12 school-meals bill only introduced and referred to committee, indicating a serious current effort but no enacted delivery from this bill yet.

Gottheimer's office said American Rescue Plan ESSER funds signed into law in March 2021 would provide an estimated $9.09 million to Sussex County school districts and $6.14 million to Warren County school districts for reopening, safety, ventilation, avoiding layoffs, academic and mental-health supports, Wi-Fi, and after-school and summer programs.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is concrete K-12 support delivered during Gottheimer's later federal service, but it addresses only parts of the broad promise to improve K-12 education, so it supports a partial rather than full-delivery finding.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. later_term A for effort

The promise is broad and low-specificity: improve K-12 education. Gottheimer has delivered some concrete K-12 benefits during later federal service, especially federal American Rescue Plan ESSER funding for local school districts supporting reopening, safety, staffing, academic recovery, mental health, internet access, and enrichment programs. He also sponsored the 2026 Feed Our Kids Act for universal free school meals, which is a serious K-12 effort but had only been introduced and referred to committee, not enacted. These actions support partial credit, not full delivery of the broad education-improvement promise.
