I voted for this bill because I believe the answer is to bring families in, and I’ll keep working so every kid in Southwest Washington has support both at school and at home.
Work to ensure every child in Southwest Washington has support both at school and at home.
Occurrences
Evidence
The official latest-news list in the lookback window shows July 2 quilt-show amendment, June 29 vote-by-mail statement, June 26 price-discrimination bill, and June 22 grain-project opening; none is a concrete child school/home support delivery.
Congress.gov says the bill passed the House on January 31, 2024, and its working-family title would increase the refundable child tax credit maximum to $1,800 in 2023, $1,900 in 2024, and $2,000 in 2025.
The Clerk records Roll Call 30 on H.R. 7024 as passed, 357-70, and lists Perez, Democratic, Washington, voting Yea.
Gluesenkamp Perez said she worked for months with regulators over a child-care fresh-food issue and introduced a bill to protect serving fresh fruits and vegetables where states take federal child-care dollars.
AP reported that her governing agenda included backing funding for vocational shop classes and securing money for shop programs at vocational colleges.
The official report page says she made bipartisan progress for Southwest Washington and lists 119th Congress activity, including constituent casework, letters answered, and 34 bipartisan bills introduced.
Assessments
Gluesenkamp Perez took concrete federal actions related to the promise, including voting for the House-passed child tax credit package, pursuing child-care food legislation, and backing vocational education/shop-class funding. Those actions address support at home and at school for children and families in or affecting Southwest Washington. However, the evidence does not show that a comprehensive or universal support system for every child in Southwest Washington was enacted or delivered, and key measures such as H.R. 7024 did not become law in that Congress. This warrants partial credit rather than full delivery.
