Happy Mother’s Day.
I want to start by wishing a happy Mother’s Day to three important mothers in my own life: my mother Ellen, who raised eight kids with grace and perseverance and who continues to serve as an example to all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren; my wife Terese, who is my biggest supporter and the best mother to our four daughters and Mimi to our two grandsons; and my daughter Elyse, who is now a mother to two sons of her own.
I’m also wishing a day of celebration, rest, and love to the hard-working mothers all across our Commonwealth. And to anyone experiencing this day as one of loss or sadness, I hope it will pass gently.
Raising children is one of the hardest jobs there is — and we’re not doing enough to support mothers in this country. That is why one of my leading priorities as a U.S. Senator is fighting for our working families: through improving child health and education programs, increasing access to SNAP and other nutrition programs, making child care more affordable, ensuring access to paid family and medical leave, and expanding pregnancy-related and postpartum health care coverage.
Our work is far from over, which is why I’m running for re-election to continue championing mothers and our working families. No one will work harder than I will to make sure we aren’t just celebrating moms once a year on Mother’s Day, but instead putting real solutions in place that will help support them every day.
With gratitude,
Bob Casey
