Even with the progress/help from the Affordable Care Act, there is still so much more to do.
Democrats introduced legislation that would fund universal pre-K for all 3- and 4-year olds and create a sliding scale child-care system for younger children based on household incomes. This legislation would ensure middle-class and working families do not spend more than 7 percent of their income on child care, expands access to pre-K, and invests in the early childhood workforce and infrastructure.
GUESS WHAT — EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN VOTED AGAINST IT, stalling the legislation in Congress with the help of one Democratic Senator Joe Manchin. If you want to ensure middle-class and working families do not spend more than 7 percent of their income on child care, expands access to pre-K, and invests in the early childhood workforce, then VOTE for Cheri Beasley and Jasmine Beach-Ferrara on November 8, 2022.
