Legislative priorities should center on strengthening the care economy, beginning with investments in early education to ensure that every child has access to high-quality, affordable learning opportunities. This foundation not only supports future workforce development but also allows working families to thrive, with the added benefit of reducing long-term inequality. A critical extension of this care economy is healthcare, particularly maternal health, where targeted policies to improve prenatal and postpartum care can drastically reduce health disparities and support the well-being of mothers and children. Additionally, providing robust support for small businesses—especially those in caregiving sectors—can drive economic growth while enhancing care services for families. By prioritizing these areas, we can create a more sustainable, inclusive economy that uplifts both caregivers and those in need of care.
