Candidate Pledge

I commit to supporting Washington families and growing our economy with new child care investments. Care is simply too expensive and too hard to find for many families, many parents are forced to leave the workforce, and child care workers are paid so low they can’t afford to stay in the industry. We can ensure better outcomes for kids and grow our economy by funding accessible, affordable, culturally responsive child care for working- and middle-class families and ensuring living wages, benefits, and high quality training for child care providers.
