A New American Family First Plan
Candidate positionIn Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, we are challenged to examine the principle of the common good. His holiness writes, “The Second Vatican Council affirmed that the common good consists in “the sum total of social conditions which allow people, either as groups or as individuals, to reach their fulfillment more fully and more easily.” [76] This definition provides us with a valuable initial reference point, because the common good cannot be reduced to a mere list of conditions or institutions. It is not the sum total of individual benefits, nor the intersection of their particular interests; it is a greater good that belongs to everyone, and it can only be achieved, nurtured and protected by our collective efforts. We can say that social action reaches its fullness when it is directed toward this shared good, just as a person’s moral action finds its fulfillment in the choice of the true good.” I take this to heart, meaning that we must work as a nation to ensure our families are supported.

Candidate positionAs your Congressman, I will fight for federal paid and protected maternity leave for mothers. Passed more than 30 years ago, the Family and Medical Leave Act already provides 12 weeks of protected leave. But it is outdated, unpaid, and does not meet the needs of a modern-day family. 52% of two-parent households rely on both incomes to meet basic needs due to rising costs. The first months of life are critical for the health of both mother and baby, and this must be protected. I would work to enact a federal law that expands FMLA and guarantees mothers are paid at least ¾ of their base pay while on maternity leave.
