The DNC Makes Clear: Only Democrats Will Fight to Lower the Cost of Care for Working Families

WASHINGTON As Kamala Harris prepares to take the stage at the DNC this evening, Sondra Goldschein, Executive Director of the Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy PAC (CFFE PAC), released the following statement applauding Democrats for highlighting family budgets throughout the convention and on the campaign trail.

“This week we are seeing what true leadership looks like on caregiving issues. Kamala Harris has dedicated her career to uplifting working families like her own. Tim Walz has repeatedly delivered on policies that lower the cost of care for Minnesotans. Supporting American families is not just what they do – it’s who they are.

Throughout the DNC, past, present, and future leaders of the Democratic Party have shown that they understand the challenges families face trying to both make ends meet and care for their loved ones. They reinforced a commitment to critical policies like the expanded Child Tax Credit, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, and fighting for an economy that gives families the tools and opportunities they need to build a better life. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Republican extremists remain dead set on advancing their dangerous Project 2025 agenda, which focuses on stripping rights away from women and securing corporate giveaways instead of addressing the challenges American families are facing.

CFFE PAC is thrilled to leverage the excitement and momentum coming out of the convention and help elect Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and Democrats in battleground states who will fight for families across the country.”

The Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy PAC (CFFE PAC) is fighting for a future where all people can afford to care for themselves and their loved ones. In 2022, CFFE PAC ran a $13.5 million program communicating with voters about where candidates stand on policies that lower the cost of prescription drugs, ensure paid family and medical leave, and provide affordable elder and child care. In 2020, CFFE PAC spent almost $18 million on a program in support of Joe Biden and U.S. Senate candidates that spanned Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, Iowa, Montana, Virginia, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Florida and Georgia.
