Folks,

As New York’s first mom Governor, I know firsthand the challenges and rewards of being a parent and wanting the absolute best for your children.

When I had my kids, I was a working mom, and I had to make tough choices and compromises to take care of my kids and maintain my career.

Now, I’m making sure New York parents have all the tools at their disposal to safely bring their children into this world and take care of them.

New York takes steps to improve affordability for working families
The policy, signed into law in April, gives workers the ability to take paid leave for any pregnancy-related medical appointments.

My administration pledged to invest a record-breaking $7 billion in child care because I know working families need all the support they can get. These new proposals will make a real difference in making child care more affordable and accessible for all New Yorkers.

Expanding childcare access across the state was a top priority in my State of the State address — if you agree that investing in high-quality, affordable, accessible child care is important, please add your name in support of my plans today!

Every parent deserves a fair shot at building a career while raising a family, and every kid deserves a great start in life.

Here in New York, we’re making it happen.

Ever upward,

Governor Kathy Hochul
