Family Friendly Action PAC Passes 750,000 Doors Knocked in Battleground States

The Family Friendly Action PAC Has Active Voter Contact Campaigns in Georgia, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin

Across the Country, the Rising Cost of Health Care and Access To Paid Family and Medical Leave Are Front and Center for Voters and Candidates

Washington, DC – Today, the Family Friendly Action PAC (FFA PAC) announced that it has surpassed 750,000 door knocks this cycle in key Senate battleground states including Georgia, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. FFA PAC has active programs in each of these states educating voters about where the candidates stand on kitchen table economic issues like lowering the cost of health care, child care and prescription drugs and ensuring that everyone has access to paid family and medical leave.

“The rising costs of health care, child care and prescription drugs is front and center for families today,” said Sondra Goldschein, executive director of Family Friendly Action PAC. “Families deserve to know which candidates stand ready to give them the tools and opportunities they need to address these challenges and build a better life, and which will stand in the way of that. That’s why we’re out everyday talking to voters about the issues that matter most to them – so they have the information they need on Election Day.”

These issues are currently front and center in critical Senate races. During the second U.S. Senate debate in Wisconsin, Sen. Ron Johnson once again displayed his disregard for working families, saying that paid time off for new moms “makes problems worse.” Mandela Barnes, on the other hand, said we should “absolutely strengthen” paid leave in the U.S.

Recently, FFA PAC launched a storybook highlighting the role kitchen table economic issues are playing for voters in battleground states and districts. The testimonials from Georgia, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin demonstrate that in key elections, voters are prioritizing candidates who will work to bring down the cost of child care, elder care and prescription drugs and pass paid family and medical leave.
