Survey of 2021 Senate campaign websites: on Families & Children


Haneefah Khaaliq: Full support of automatic paid family and medical leave

I am in full support of automatic paid family and medical leave. People shouldn't have to choose between their job, their health, and their family. I support paid family medical leave when individuals are able to meet the existing legal requirements for up to four months. This can be paid through payroll taxes funded by the employee and the employer.

JD Vance: Reinvigorate American families; tax code penalizes marriage

Many of our families are broken. I know what it's like to grow up without a father in the home, and the problems that can create for a lifetime. We need to reinvigorate the American family, make it easier to support a family on a single middle-class wage, and encourage fathers to step up in families across our country. Currently our tax code penalizes marriage and family, we should turn that on its head and reward marriage and family.

Katie Britt: Help kids: families, school prayer, after-school programs

I believe in the power of education and opportunity in keeping kids off the street and steering them to land high-quality jobs. Another important part of this equation is the family structure and values with which children are raised. I am a major proponent of mentoring, because all kids deserve and need strong role models in their lives to thrive into the future. I support Alabama's families, school prayer, and after-school programs--including youth sports.

Lucas Kunce: Will push for paid family, medical and sick leave

Lucas will push for legislation that ends pay discrimination, combats workplace harassment, and ensures paid family, medical, and sick leave for all workers. He'll demand action that provides greater accountability among massive corporations, members of Congress, and the military for sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape.

Allen Glines: Worked to build awareness of missing children's cases

My entrance into the world of public service started when I was 14 years old. I noticed a poster of a young girl who had gone missing hanging on just about every window and door in my local area. I had no idea about the ills of the world. And yet I wanted to know more and help out people in those situations. Since that time, I have worked tirelessly with missing children's organizations to build awareness for a lot of cases that have not been on the public's radar.

Allen Glines: Protect domestic violence victims; punish abusers

I believe that there's a lot of work left to be done to protect victims of domestic violence and properly punish their abusers. That's why I have devoted many hours championing comprehensive legislation to change how these crimes are approached. These efforts continue to this day and would become even more prominent if I were elected senator. This type of crime is a moving target, so it's crucial to remain to diligent and stay on top of it.

Scott Sifton: Parents' bankruptcy led to working to protect families

Scott Sifton dedicated his life to public service after his family lost everything when he was 15 and growing up in Kansas City. His father lost his job, his family lost the home he grew up in and his parents went bankrupt. Scott decided then to spend his life working to help protect families from hardship.
