WASHINGTON – Sondra Goldschein, Executive Director of the Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy PAC (CFFE PAC) released the following statement lauding Vice President Kamala Harris’ plan to address the affordability of providing care for older and disabled loved ones at home.

“Kamala Harris once again reinforced that she is the only candidate in this race who will provide relief to millions of caregivers in this country. Her historic new plan would be life changing for millions of Americans, especially those who fall into the ‘Sandwich Generation’ and are managing the financial and emotional costs of caring for their parents and children at the same time. Add to that her pledge to expand the Child Tax Credit, cap the cost of child care expenses at 7%, and offer tax relief for 100 million middle class families, Vice President Harris is demonstrating that she will always prioritize the needs of working families. 

“CFFE PAC is running the largest field program in our organization’s history, communicating to voters about how Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have the backs of working families. Our canvassers have knocked on over 2.7 million voters’ doors across key battleground states, including 700,000 attempts last week alone.”
