Team,

Earlier this summer, I met with parents in my district to talk about the expanded Child Tax Credit. So many of the parents spoke to me, full of emotion, not about school supplies or new shoes they could buy, but about something much bigger — about the importance of having extra money available so they could start saving for their kids, about being able to look to the future.

That’s why it is so misguided that Senator Joe Manchin and others are looking to limit the Build Back Better Act, citing its high price tag. Senator Manchin has indicated he has objections to expanding the Child Tax Credit, creating universal pre-K, and reducing child care costs for most parents and has called for a “strategic pause” on the bill.

Parents, caregivers, and kids don’t need a strategic pause — they need progress. Eighteen months into a pandemic that has upended caregiving, America’s kids and parents are at a breaking point. Some may say that we can’t afford this, but the truth is we can’t afford not to invest in our children.

If Democrats negotiate against ourselves and fail to produce real results for American families, they will have no reason to trust us with another term in office. We saw this happen in 2009, and it led to Democrats losing control of the House for eight years. We cannot afford to let it happen again.

To show that I have support on this major issue, please consider chipping in $5 or whatever you can spare to my re-election campaign today.
