Kamala Harris Instagram – The fight for affordable child care is personal to me. My mother was a breast cancer researcher, working long days and often weekends. And when she did, my sister and I would walk two doors down to the home of Mrs. Regina Shelton. Mrs. Shelton ran a child care center, and she became a second mother to my sister and me. My mother often said that if not for Mrs. Shelton, she would never have been able to do the work that she did. She would have never been able to contribute as she did to the fight to end breast cancer. That’s why President Biden and I will continue to fight to bring down child care costs and increase opportunity for all families, such as by capping child care copayments at no more than 7% of income for families benefiting from federal child care assistance.
