Murphy: Child Care Costs 'Breaking the Bank'

Senate

Chris Murphy (D): Murphy released a statement with Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D) saying that the two have discussed a report from Murphy's office that looked at the extensive burden on Connecticut families caused by child care. They believe access to affordable child care would help ease this financial burden.

"This report confirms that child care expenses are breaking the bank for too many families. Quality child care in Connecticut costs money, and middle class family budgets are already stretched thin," Murphy said.

Linda McMahon (R): McMahon's new television ad shows her confidence in her going into the August 28 primary, says the National Journal. The ad specifically attacks Chris Murphy (D), suggesting she assumes she will be facing off against him in the general election and has moved beyond the primary, where she'll face Chris Shays (R).

Rosa DeLauro (D): DeLauro released a statement, along with Representative Chris Murphy, emphasizing the need for access to affordable child care would for middle-class and working Connecticut families. 

"We need to make sure our political, social, and economic policies reflect the working world of the 21st century and that they are meeting the real needs of today's middle and working class families. That includes helping families gain access to quality, affordable child care," DeLauro said.
