Candidate biography

Source-published biography

As a mother of three daughters, I know firsthand the difficult choices too many American families are forced to make. More than once, I had to return to work just weeks after giving birth because my family couldn't afford for me to stay home longer. No parent should have to choose between their financial stability and their physical recovery, mental health, or time to bond with a newborn.
