2022 MD Governor's race: on Families & Children

Ashwani Jain: Create a Paid Family Leave Insurance Fund

Ashwani Jain: Require free menstrual products in public school bathrooms

Doug Gansler: Universal pre-kindergarten and universal child care

• Universal pre-kindergarten and universal child care. Good education and child care starts before kindergarten. Well-off parents already are able to obtain care for their children and pre-school that gives their kids a head start. We need every kid in Maryland to have that same start, regardless of race or income.
• Increase vocational programming in high schools and post-secondary institutions. We must complement investment in these vocational programs with broader investments in Maryland's trade schools and community colleges, which are increasingly essential to successful careers in the skilled trades. We must ensure that students have the training they need to obtain good, middle-class jobs when they leave high school.

Wes Moore: Paid sick, family, and medical leave for every Marylander
