“In April, I met a mom in Newton, Iowa, who held her four-and-a-half-month-old in her arms. She said to me, ‘I’m counting on you to know what it’s like to be a working mother. Please help us working mothers and fathers have more time with our babies.’ I’m not going to let her down. I’ll never forget what it was like to be a mom at work. It wasn’t easy. And I was lucky: I had financial security, a supportive employer, and affordable childcare. Too many families don’t. I’ve met so many parents stuck in impossible situations, at their wits’ ends trying to make it all work. It just shouldn’t be this hard to work and have a family.”
