I would know. Eleven years ago I became the 8th woman to ever give birth while serving in Congress. Since then, I've been a fierce advocate for expanding paid family leave and making child care more affordable.

Now, in the midst of an unprecedented health crisis, there's never been a better, more critical time to pass policies that will ease the burden on working parents.

Stand with me | Chip in to my re-election campaign today so I can continue fighting for working families in Congress >>

The U.S. currently spends far less on families and children compared to other developed countries. In fact, we're the only industrialized country without a national paid family leave program. To make matters worse, child care costs have increased approximately 2,000% since the 1970s, while wages have stagnated. 

We cannot afford to go on like this. 

Working families, especially single-parent households, need Congress to step up and deliver common-sense policies like paid family leave and child care assistance. 

Here's my promise: as long as I'm in Congress, I'll fight like hell to make life easier for children and families. Will you join me in this fight by making a donation to my re-election campaign today?
