John,

I couldn’t agree more.

As a mom and a candidate for Congress, I know firsthand the challenges of finding affordable childcare. In fact, most of my student loans are the result of costs associated with finding childcare for my two girls. It's an issue that affects families across Michigan, and it's one we can't afford to ignore.

Did you know that Michigan is losing an estimated $2.88 billion in annual economic activity, including $576 million in direct revenue, due to inaccessible and unaffordable childcare?

Affordable childcare is essential for our families and our economy. It allows parents to work, pursue education, and contribute to our communities. When childcare is out of reach, it holds us all back.

I’m committed to helping families and kids in Congress. We need policies that support working families, make quality childcare accessible, and invest in our children's future.

But before we can tackle this issue in Congress, I have to get there first. Our Primary is coming up next week, and I could really use your help. Your contribution, whether it's $10, $25, or $50, will go a long way in helping us reach every corner of this district from now until August 6th. Can I count on your support?

Grateful for your support,

Callie
