I have been advocating for children and families in my district and across the country since my first day in Congress. Because I know that while the coronavirus pandemic exacerbated the child care crisis that has long impacted millions of families and care workers, it did not create it.

That’s why I worked so hard to ensure significant measures for children and families were included in the Build Back Better Act. The legislation as it stands includes free and universal pre-K for three- and four-year-olds, significant measures to reduce child care costs, and a one-year extension of the expanded and improved Child Tax Credit.

I personally called on House Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Schumer to expand eligibility for child care subsidies to a higher income threshold of at least 250% of the State Median Income, which will reflect the needs of middle-class families in high-cost areas like San Diego. I am proud to see these priorities reflected in the final text of the bill.

We must demonstrate that there is real grassroots support for these crucial issues. To show that you have my back and to keep me in Congress as an advocate for children and families, will you chip in $5 or more to my campaign right away?

Thank you,
Sara
