Last week, a nearly 20-year-long Democratic battle became a reality when the first Child Tax Credit checks went out to working families, a critical step in our COVID recovery efforts that will cut child poverty in half.
I couldn’t be prouder to have voted for this legislation, and I know the Child Tax Credit has already begun helping more than 600,000 families in Kansas.
COVID-19 highlighted the inequities we’ve been fighting against here in Kansas on a national level, and my Democratic colleagues and I rallied behind this part of the American Rescue Plan.
Now that it’s been implemented, we can’t go back. We can’t ignore the challenges working families are facing. We can’t ignore kids who need help.
Less than a week old, the Child Tax Credit is already proving to be one of the best accomplishments of this year. Will you add your name now to prove that there’s massive support behind making the Child Tax Credit permanent for all?
