In Remarks In Kentucky,
Clinton To Also Announce Plans to Expand Home Visiting Programs for New
Parents and Boost Wages for Child Care Workers
Speaking at a
family health center in Louisville this afternoon as part of her
“Breaking Down Barriers” tour, Hillary Clinton will outline her vision
to help working families afford the rising costs of child care.
In
particular, Clinton will commit that, as President, she will
significantly increase child care investments so no family pays more
than 10 percent of their income for child care. From her earliest days
after law school working as a child advocate to her work as First Lady
to pass the Children’s Health Insurance Program, Hillary Clinton has
championed the cause of parents and families and has always believed
that “it takes a village” to raise a child.
