Scott, Ocasio-Cortez, Murray, Warren Establish Childcare for America Working Group to Lower Costs, Deliver Childcare for Every American Family
Work to lower child care costs and deliver child care for every American family.
Occurrences
Evidence
Scott opposed H.R. 7762 and argued that child care is essential for millions of families, noting that many communities face steep child-care costs and limited availability.
The committee Democrats' legislation tracker lists H.R. 8859, the Creating Early Childhood Leaders Act, with a last action date of 05/15/26.
Assessments
The evidence shows Scott actively advocated for child-care affordability and supported related early-childhood legislation during his current House service, so he did work on the issue. But it does not show that he achieved the promised outcome of lowering child-care costs nationwide or delivering child care for every American family. Because the record here supports meaningful advocacy without proof of the promised result being delivered, partial credit is the best fit.
