Ensuring parents have reliable, affordable childcare is an economic issue. Right now, parents in Indiana are spending thousands of dollars annually on daycare so they can work for meager wages. Through subsidies and federal investments, we can create the universal, educational childcare programs that working families need. Learn more
Like many Americans, Cinde values quality public education because it is an important part of her own story: Cinde attended neighborhood public schools through high school, and her children were both educated in Indiana public schools. She believes that the legacy of quality public education should continue for generations to come. An investment in education is an investment in the future. Learn more
We need to recognize teaching as the profession it is and ensure teachers have the classroom resources they need to best prepare their students. Congress must support public education by enhancing previous funding formulas and supporting the needs of teachers and students.

By doing so, we can re-build our world-class education system in communities of every size. Learn more

These protections are especially important for LGBTQIA persons and those seeking reproductive and pregnancy care.
