Last night, the presidential debate spent no time discussing the child care crisis. Yet, 73% of working parents say child care policy will affect their vote this November. The disconnect is real. While parents struggle to balance work and family life, child care remains a pressing issue that deserves attention on the debate stage. It’s time for leaders to catch up with the realities of modern families and prioritize the policies that help us all thrive. Child care isn’t just a personal challenge—it’s a community and economic one. And this November, parents are voting with this in mind. Let’s keep pushing for the attention our families deserve. Because when parents can thrive, so do businesses and communities. #leadership #childcare #workingparents
