Dan Goldman will pursue legislation to provide $10 billion in federal funding annually for 10 years for afterschool and summer learning programs.
Occurrences
Evidence
The May 7, 2026 press release says Dan Goldman and Jimmy Gomez introduced the Afterschool for All Act, which would provide $10 billion in federal funding annually for 10 years for after school and summer learning programming, fully paid for by a 1% increase in the corporate income tax rate.
The committee Democrats' legislation list shows H.R. 8654 on 05/04/26 with the description: 'To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to reauthorize the Nita M. Lowey Community Learning Centers program for fiscal years 2026 through 2035, and for other purposes.'
Assessments
Goldman's promise was framed as pursuing legislation, not guaranteeing enactment of the funding. The evidence shows that during his federal House term he introduced the Afterschool for All Act, which matches the pledged policy: $10 billion annually for 10 years for afterschool and summer learning programs. Because the promised action was legislative pursuit and he personally advanced the bill in office, this counts as delivered in the same term even though the bill had not been enacted.
