Across District 91, too many families are forced to make impossible choices between earning a paycheck and caring for the people they love.
As Ranking Member of the House Children and Families Committee, I’m committed to building a care economy that supports working families and care workers at every stage of life: childcare, an advanced child tax credit, affordable elder care, and paid family leave.
What I'm Fighting For
- Fight for affordable childcare and paid family and medical leave.
- Create a Tennessee child tax credit and expand support for families raising kids.
- Lower the cost of elder care by expanding home- and community-based services through TennCare so seniors can age with dignity.
- Fix our child welfare system and DCS so no child in state custody falls through the cracks.
- Secure living wages and strong benefits for the care workers who hold our families together.
