I'm proud of the Democratic Party's commitment to supporting families. 

For too long, the cost of raising a family has been climbing. This, combined with stagnant wages, unaffordable childcare, massive student debt, and rising housing costs, has made starting a family nearly impossible for many young adults. 

Recognizing these difficulties, Democrats have responded by passing the most pro-family policy agenda in modern American history, including:

• $300/per child monthly payments to families with children under 6 and $250/per child monthly payments to families with children aged 6-17. Payments begin July 15th. 

   

• A $39 billion investment in creating more affordable childcare options for working parents.

• A Purple Star Campuses program to support military families' unique educational needs.

These programs alone will cut childhood poverty in half, allow parents to spend more time with their children, and energize our economy through increased consumer spending.

We aren't done, though! Right now, Democrats are working to pass paid maternity leave, universal childcare, and improvements to the Head Start Program. 

Thank you for allowing me to represent working families in Tallahassee.

In solidarity,
