Evidence

This establishes the underlying campaign promise, but does not itself show whether it was fulfilled.

Congress.gov lists S.2295 as a bill to increase child care quality and supply and lower child care costs. Hassan became a cosponsor on September 2, 2025; the latest action was referral to HELP Committee.

Hassan supported child care cost legislation in her current Senate term, but the bill had not become law as of the available record.

The enacted H.R.7148 became Public Law 119-75 and appropriated $8.831 billion for CCDBG, $12.357 billion for Head Start, tenant-based rental assistance funding, and $1.25 billion for HOME.

The law delivered federal child care and housing assistance funding, supporting partial fulfillment of the promise to lower those costs.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

The promise was framed as an ongoing commitment to work on lowering child care and housing costs. In the same Senate term, Hassan took concrete action by cosponsoring S.2295 on September 2, 2025 to reduce child care costs and S.1515 on April 29, 2025 to expand affordable housing incentives, but neither measure became law. She also voted yes on H.R.7148, passed by the Senate on January 30, 2026 and enacted on February 3, 2026, which provided major child care and housing assistance funding. That shows meaningful effort and some policy delivery, but not enough direct, attributable proof that the broader promise to lower those costs was fully achieved.

partial same_term

Hassan took same-term legislative action tied to both parts of the promise, including voting for an enacted 2026 appropriations law that funded child care programs, Head Start, rental assistance, and HOME housing funds. However, the broader cost-lowering agenda was only partly delivered: major child care and affordable-housing bills she cosponsored remained referred in committee rather than enacted.
