We need a vision for the future, which understands that every family in America has the right to high quality, affordable childcare.

We are the richest country in the history of the world, and there is no excuse... why we should not be providing the highest quality of childcare.

40 percent of parents in America have gone into debt due to the cost of childcare.

We cannot afford to allow that to happen.

We have the highest rate of childhood poverty of almost any major country on earth.

You want to have a kid in America, and you are working class, well, we are going to make you pay for that boy.

This is what we should be doing.

I hope that within the midst of the GME issue, we can deal with the issue of salaries for residents as well.

Thank you, Senator Sanders, for showing us continuously what leadership looks like, for being our voice when others are not listening.

it will take more individuals like you, Senator Sanders, and the HELP Committee, to achieve--thank you.

You got to elect people who are going to stand up and fight for them, make a difference in their lives.

I would not be here as Chairman of the Committee if the people of Georgia had not done what they did.
