Just as they care for our communities, caregiving electeds should also have the opportunity to care for their families.
The Vote Mama Foundation released their Campaign Funds for Childcare (CFCC) Report [[link removed]] , offering tangible examples of what structural solutions can do for caregiving candidates.

ICYMI: Our 2021 State of Pay Report [[link removed]] was cited in Governing’s [[link removed]] article! States like New Jersey and Kansas are moving to increase legislator salaries after decades of little to no pay. Ensuring fair compensation can be instrumental in increasing the diversity of potential candidates and legislative bodies.
