Use your voice on the local level where it has the potential to be more widely heard.

For me, getting off the sidelines means women making a difference by letting their voices be heard on the issues they care about.

When women earn more, families are stronger, and children have better access to quality health care and education.

When mothers earn their fair share, young children have greater access to quality health care, educational opportunities, and safe communities. By ending the wage gap, we will help ensure that every child can achieve his or her God-given potential.

I'm fighting to make childcare more affordable for working parents so they can continue working and advancing their careers, closing wage gaps that for too long have held women back from the fair economic opportunities they need.

It's time to focus on real solutions that will create jobs and build our economy for real strength and stability - not just for the fortunate few, but for every American.
