There was a lot of BS flying around the GOP debate this week, but this
line from Vivek Ramaswamy caught my attention: "The government pays single
women more not to have a man in the house."
This is a demeaning and frankly, flat-out false statement. As one of
Congress' only single moms of school-aged kids, I've called attention to
how our tax code unfairly punishes single parents. When the Child Tax
Credit was enacted during the pandemic, for example, married parents
making less than $150,000 per year qualified for monthly payments. But for
single parent families, you only qualified if you made less than $112,500
per year.
Fighting unequal treatment like this is one reason I'm running for the
U.S. Senate.

There’s no "single parent discount" for groceries, kids’ shoes, rent, or
childcare. By punishing single parent families, we punish the children
whose families are often most in need of assistance.
When I was advocating against a single parent penalty, I asked why it
existed in the first place. The answer was "no one's asked about it
before." That might be because no single mom of young kids had ever served
in Congress -- until I was elected in 2018. If elected to the Senate, I'd
be the first single mom of school-aged kids to serve there too.
We don’t need guys like Vivek demonizing millions of single parents in
America who need their government to work for them -- we need leaders on
the national level who will fight for all families and champion
investments in schools, affordable childcare, and in paid leave policies.
