On the recordNovember 3, 2021
Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the Build Back Better agenda. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make transformational change for women, transformational change for families, and communities of color. From affordable childcare and eldercare to raising the pay of care workers and providing universal pre-K to expanding the child tax credit, this agenda will lift women out of poverty, educate our children, and lower costs. We can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, because there is so much good in this bill. This agenda is about who we are as a country and the values we represent. The Build Back Better agenda will build back better for women and families. ____________________
