expand access to affordable childcare
I will work to expand access to affordable childcare.
Occurrences
In addition to the Congressional Dads Caucus, I am a proud backer of several bills to make affordable child care a reality, including the Child Care Infrastructure Act, the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act of 2024, and the Child Care Nutrition Enhancement Act.
Today, Congressman Jimmy Gomez ... unveiled a groundbreaking plan to reshape the American economy through universal paid family and medical leave, guaranteed access to child care...
Evidence
Gomez said he would keep fighting in Congress, in the courts, and on the ground, and argued that Congress should invest in lowering the cost of housing, childcare, and healthcare for working families.
Gomez convened the first-ever National Summit on the Caregiving Crisis and said the effort would rebuild care infrastructure and expand access to affordable childcare.
Assessments
The evidence shows Jimmy Gomez actively advocated for lower childcare costs and convened a caregiving summit, which supports sustained effort toward the promise. However, the record does not show enacted legislation, an executive action, or a concrete completed expansion of affordable childcare access, so the promise cannot be marked as delivered or failed on the available evidence.
