Political Quotes

“I first want to start with how thrilled I am that childcare was addressed in the bill that we passed last week. The affordability and accessibility has hung over so many Americans coast to coast that want or need the opportunity to reengage in the workforce. And we took action to make a difference--to make it easier for parents to keep more of their hard-earned money to be able to do just that. It wouldn't have been possible, obviously, without that bill and the Republican conference coming together and actually deciding to effect change for hard-working families across this Nation. We worked diligently, though, before that was even an option, building a coalition in a bipartisan way to address the affordability and accessibility of childcare. I want to take a minute to thank Senator Tim Kaine. The Britt-Kaine proposal is what much of this was pulled from. We worked together to build that coalition to make sure that we were getting it right for the American people, in that we both had team members that worked diligently and around the clock.”
