I am one of countless moms in our country who can say that Medicaid literally saved my child's life. When my son, Ethan, was born in 2006, he needed to start chemotherapy at six weeks old to treat a life-threatening tumor. He needed round-the-clock care, so I had to quit work to care for him, which...

I am a 4th generation daughter of Arizona, pushed to speak out to my community about the future of our Healthcare situation. Representative McSally stunned me, saying (paraphrasing) it will take years and years for the Republicans to figure out health care. This is NOT acceptable! Health care is...

Betsy DeVos in charge of my child’s education scares me. When questioned by the Senate committee she could not answer basic questions about education policy and declined to commit to protecting funds for public schools. She would not commit enforcing gun-free zones at schools, to enforcing laws designed to prevent and punish sexual assault on college campuses, and to supporting measures that would help ensure that children with disabilities are well-served by our schools.
