How to Use This Guide
Elections are an opportunity to clarify the issues and ensure that our public officials understand what policy changes are needed to support accessible, affordable child care for all families. To help you engage effectively, we have developed a Voter Education Guide. This guide is designed to help you understand candidates’ positions on child care and to provide you with the tools to ask informed questions. Use this guide to learn how to research candidates, engage with them, and ask critical questions about their child care policies. Over the course of a campaign, candidates will typically have a number of in-person and virtual events where questions like these can be asked. Social media can also be a great venue for these discussions. Let’s ensure our elected officials prioritize high-quality, affordable child care for all families.
