Additionally, I introduced 14 bills that address critical concerns that affect our daily lives, including legislation to protect immigrant youth, expand nutrition and food assistance to students, tax the ultra-wealthy, revitalize downtowns, and make housing more affordable. Every piece of legislation is a testament to our shared values and aspirations for a better future.
I’m also honored to have founded two historic caucuses last year that are the first of their kind.
The first is the Dads Caucus, which I founded after a memorable moment with my son on the House floor. Since then, we have been able to turn that moment into something bigger to support families and advocate for dads to do more of their part at home and in Congress. I'm leading the Dads Caucus in fighting for family friendly policies, including paid family leave, affordable child care, and an end to child poverty by expanding the child tax credit.
