Hey John,
I wanted to send a quick note to wish all of the mothers, grandmothers, stepmoms, and moms-to-be a Happy Mother’s Day (especially my wife Brittany, who is the most incredible mom to our kids Cricket and Nelson)!
Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the women in our lives whose selfless devotion helped us learn, grow, and thrive from childhood into adulthood. It’s also a time to reflect on how we choose to live our values and think critically about the ways in which we’re working to honor motherhood every single day.
Over the past year, job losses and a lack of affordable child care have pushed women — especially women of color — out of our workforce by the millions. A lack of affordable health care and low wages in fields dominated by women have also made it nearly impossible for millions of working moms to stay afloat during this pandemic.
If this year has taught us anything, it’s that our country needs to enact fair public policies that recognize and support the work, sacrifice, and dedication that it takes to be a mother and raise a family here in the United States.
One day to celebrate moms isn’t enough. As your representative, I promise to continue to honor the women and mothers in my life by fighting for policies that truly recognize the work and sacrifices you make every single day. You deserve it, our kids deserve it, and hard working families deserve it.
Thank you again for all that you do. Happy Mother’s Day!
