Supporting Working Families
No parent should ever have to choose between being present for their family and putting food on the table. Congressman Goldman is committed to making it easier for working families to support themselves by working to pass the Child Tax Credit, to expand paid family leave, to provide access to affordable childcare, and to fully fund critical federal assistance programs like SNAP and TANF.
Congressman Goldman is a founding member of the Dads Caucus.
