Committee Democrats have a clear agenda to address the affordability crisis: lower costs, create good-paying jobs, and raise wages.
Pursue an affordability agenda that lowers costs, creates good-paying jobs, and raises wages.

he’s fighting to make college more affordable for students and families through his College Affordability Act
Evidence
House Democrats said Scott joined Bonamici and Markey in introducing legislation to ensure workers receive the full award they deserve when employers are found liable for discrimination.
Scott said expanding Pell Grant access for short-term training in IT, health care, finance, and manufacturing has long been a bipartisan priority.
Scott, Sanders, and Warren urged the Department of Labor to rescind a proposal that would let alternative assets into 401(k) plans.
Scott voted against the GOP reconciliation bill and said Republicans were not focusing on lowering costs and improving the lives of working families.
Assessments
The promise was to pursue an affordability agenda, and the evidence shows Scott took concrete same-term steps consistent with that goal: he introduced worker-compensation legislation, backed workforce-training expansion, and intervened on retirement-savings policy. Those actions show meaningful pursuit on wages, jobs, and household financial security. But the record here does not show that he delivered a broad affordability agenda through enacted federal policy or clear measurable cost-lowering outcomes, so full delivery is not supported.
