Hey there — We’re now in the second month of expanded Child Tax Credit payments hitting the bank accounts of American parents, and we have some amazing stats to share:
- 47% of households who received Child Tax Credit Payments reported spending it on food
- The number of households with children reporting food insecurity has dropped from 11% to 8%
- The number of families with children reporting that they sometimes or often did not have enough to eat decreased overall by 24% — the lowest rate recorded since the beginning of the pandemic
Shots in arms. Money in pockets. Food on kitchen tables. That’s how NewDems are delivering for Americans in 2021. But here’s the deal:
Not a single Republican voted to give this tax cut to working moms and dads. Not one. Delivering for American families means defending our Democratic majority — a majority that Republicans are just about five seats away from taking. That’s why we need you to help defend this majority: Chip in $10 or more to NewDems right now as we defend our most vulnerable Democratic Members in 2022!

Americans are counting on us to continue innovating ways to make their lives easier. As long as we keep our Democratic majority, that’s exactly what we’ll do.
Thanks for sticking with us,
NewDems
