Various U.S. lawmakers, including Rep. Joe Morelle, Rep. Jahana Hayes, Rep. Salud Carbajal, Senator Jeanne Shaheen, and Rep. J.D. Scholten, are advocating for affordable and accessible childcare. They praise the Biden-Harris Administration's efforts to lower childcare costs and support providers, emphasizing the importance of quality childcare for families and economic growth. Rep. Scholten secured $1M in funding for UMCHouseGR to create alternative care options for families working outside traditional hours.
Accessing quality, affordable child care often feels impossible. And it's even harder for families working outside of the 9-5. The $1M in funding I secured for @UMCHouseGR will help with renovations to create second-shift and alternative care options for West Michigan families. https://t.co/0NOFIah9nP
Affordable, accessible child care is vital to our families, as well as economic growth and workforce development. I’m glad to see action from @POTUS and @VP to lower child care costs for families and better support providers across the nation. https://t.co/9XCpJSuuc6
The members of @ECEConsortium and I agree: quality child care should not break the bank. I appreciate their passionate advocacy for affordable child care and their support for my Child Care Investment Act, which would improve child care incentives already in our tax code. https://t.co/GBP2Qxdu4T
No family should have to pay more than 7 percent of their income towards child care. I applaud the Biden-Harris Administration efforts to support providers and lower the cost of care for families. https://t.co/kIvhn6RVTQ
Affordable, high-quality childcare is out of reach for far too many families. In his #SOTU, @POTUS pushed for a future where families can get children the care they need and still return to work. I'm working to make childcare accessible to support our families and our economy.
