	Wes Moore on Families & Children

Largest increase in funding for child care in state history

Last month, the Comptroller released a study outlining the affordability problems Maryland families face every day. Her report highlighted that as the cost of child care INCREASES, overall female employment DECREASES by 5%. And it's why our proposed budget includes the single largest increase in funding for child care in Maryland history. It's going to support 45,000 Maryland children this year. And we can make these investments in child care and housing without raising taxes on Marylanders. Source: 2024 State of the State Address to the Maryland legislature , Feb 7, 2024

Paid sick, family, and medical leave for every Marylander

Get women back to work by ensuring every family has access to quality, affordable child care by broadening the expansion of the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit, developing a system to cap out-of-pocket expenses for families in need and more.

Secure paid sick, family, and medical leave for every Marylander so that no family has to choose between caring for a new child or loved one or their paycheck.
