Child Care is Economic Development Act of 2020

Floor Speech

Date: Nov. 17, 2020
Location: Washington, DC


Mr. Speaker, H.R. 8326 ensures that recipients of Economic Development Administration grants consider childcare availability as they develop comprehensive economic development strategies.

These strategies currently incorporate various considerations, and this legislation would ensure childcare availability is also considered, which obviously helps women to contribute to the workforce.

I urge support of this legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.
