Child care should not be a luxury. We need to make high-quality child care as universal as possible so that every parent can afford to work and raise their kids. – at Arizona, USA

Many Arizona families can’t afford child care. And even when they can, they can’t find a spot.
Join me and child care leaders from across Arizona on Monday, Oct. 19 for a town hall on making child care affordable and easier to find.

Making childcare affordable has the potential to help Arizona families and our state economy grow. That's a win-win.
Read: "That makes childcare unusual in the affordability debate: Addressing it has the potential not only to reduce pressure on household budgets, but also to increase labor-force participation and expand the pool of workers available to employers."

I recently met with families in Mesa about how childcare costs are holding them back.
Unaffordable care forces parents to make impossible choices — that's why I'm fighting to pass the @NewDemCoalition Affordability Agenda to expand access and bring down costs across the board.
Thank you to @ArizonaStand for having me for this important conversation.
