Big numbers of women are expected to seek political office in 2020, but child care is a struggle for many of them. A push is on in many states to allow candidates to use campaign money to pay for it.
In this March 2017, photo, provided by Rep. Kimberly Dudik, Dudik speaks on the floor of the legislature holding her newborn son Marcutio in Helena, Mont. As experts predict another banner year of women running for office, hurdles remain particularly for those like Dudik who have young children. Only six states have laws specifically allowing the use of campaign funds for child care.
Experts predict a large number of women will again run for office in 2020 like they did in 2018, and child care remains a hurdle for many of them. Utah is among the states that passed a gender-neutral child care expense law, which went into effect last May. Sponsored by Republican state Rep. Craig Hall, it easily passed the GOP-dominated legislature.
Lawmakers in Minnesota added child care as an allowable expense in 2018, while Colorado, New York, New Hampshire and California passed laws in 2019.
