John, as a mom of
three, I know that the high cost of child care is holding families back.

In 2011, I became a tenured professor at the UC Irvine School of Law. As a
working mom, I felt fortunate to have a childcare option through my
employer. But then I saw the price tag.

My daughter Betsy’s preschool tuition cost more than what her tuition
would be if she were an undergraduate student at UC Irvine. How does that
make sense, John?

The costs of childcare across this country just don’t make sense for
working families like mine. That’s why I’m leading the charge to cap
childcare costs at 7% of a family's income.

Capping childcare costs doesn’t just make sense for families—it makes
sense for our economy. If we want our country to thrive, we need to
support the working families that keep our communities running.

Having to choose between providing for your family or accessing quality
care for your children should not be a shared American experience. Yet,
there are some families forced to spend 50% of their annual salary on
childcare.

support this fight to help working families and our economy by capping
childcare costs at 7% of a family’s annual income, please sign my petition
today.

Thanks for signing on, John.
Together, we can make this country more equitable for all.
