[link removed] [[link removed]] As someone who grew up with a single mom, I understand just how important every dollar is to working families. Every extra dollar in families’ pockets is another dollar that can go toward putting food on the table, paying the bills, saving for education, and so much more.
Today, one of the biggest expenses for working families is the cost of child care. According to a report, working parents with young children are paying 24 percent of their income on child care. Because of these staggering costs, parents have dug deeper and deeper into their savings just to support a quality future for their children.
For far too long, working families have been forced to endure the soaring cost of child care alone. That’s why I just introduced the bipartisan Affordable Child Care Act to tackle this issue head-on.
I’ll explain more below, but if you already know that Congress needs to take real action to ease this burden on working families, will you chip in to support my work and get this bill over the finish line?

The high cost of child care has forced so many families to make a difficult choice: Either cut back on work and reduce your own income, or go into debt to pay for child care. This choice is suffocating so many Kansans — which is why my new bill calls for delivering relief directly to working families.
Specifically, the Affordable Child Care Act would double three different tax credits, putting more money directly into parents’ pockets.
It would double the Child and Dependent Care tax credit to $6,000 for one dependent and $12,000 for two or more, allowing families to claim more child care expenses on their federal tax returns. In addition, my bill would double the Employer-Provided Child Care tax credit as well, encouraging businesses to invest in their own child care facilities and services.
At a moment when families are facing record-high costs for child care, we can’t wait any longer to take action. Working families deserve immediate relief — which is why I’m counting on your grassroots support right now.
If you believe Congress needs to take immediate action to address the cost of child care, chip in today to power my fight to pass this bill and deliver real support to working families. With your help, we can show Washington that this is an issue that unites Kansans from all walks of life.
