Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Jerry fought hard to fund measures to protect New Yorkers’ health. He helped secure billions to repair HVAC systems so that the air in our schools was clean and safe for kids and teachers alike, worked to deliver more vaccine resources from the federal government to New Yorkers, and shepherded legislation into law to compensate public safety officers who became disabled or died after contracting COVID in the line of duty.
Fund measures to protect New Yorkers' health during the COVID-19 pandemic, including school HVAC repairs and vaccine resources.
Occurrences
Evidence
The release says Nadler secured $1 million in community grant funding during the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations for the Early Childhood Center and says he continues to advocate for increased Head Start and Early Head Start funding.
Nadler's FY2027 Community Project Funding Requests page lists multiple district projects, including park rehabilitation, a cancer biology research facility, a Bellevue Hospital violence interruption program, and other local investments; the page does not mention HVAC or vaccine funding.
The page says the FY27 programmatic and language request form is open and that Nadler advocates for programs important to New York's 12th Congressional District.
Assessments
The cited record does not establish that Nadler delivered the specific promised COVID-era funding outcomes of school HVAC repairs and vaccine resources. The evidence only shows later, general appropriations advocacy and district funding activity in FY2026-FY2027, and it explicitly does not identify HVAC or vaccine funding tied to this promise. Without proof that he sponsored, secured, or materially advanced a concrete federal measure producing those specific results, there is not enough basis to score this as delivered or partial.
