Long-Term Childcare Fix On The Horizon
March 31, 2021
Rep. Suzanne Bonamici joins fellow lawmakers to reintroduce an act to make childcare more accessible.
Before Democrats took control of both chambers of Congress and the presidency, Suzanne Bonamici, a Democrat who represents Oregon’s 1st congressional district, made the state s childcare crisis her priority.
In September 2020, she created the Oregon Child Care Advisory Board, a group made up of 12 members, which was selected to advise her on childcare issues and how federal legislation could be used to support children and working parents.

Voting in favor of H.R. 1603 in the midst of the current border crisis is akin to supporting President Bidens broader vision to amnesty every illegal alien in the United States.
