Congresswoman

“Families in our country are over worked, underpaid, and still forced to choose between paying their bills and paying for the care of a loved one. Affordable, quality childcare is just the beginning of addressing these issues. I will fight to invest in strong federal infrastructure ensuring that quality childcare, paid family and medical leave, and long-term care are a reality for those who need it.”
