Well, I think every -- both sides are going to have to work hard to win next year.

He's running away with the nomination process now.

Well, certainly, every candidate talked about being pro-life and what their -- what their limits may or may not be.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Well, it's staggering the challenge before us. And Congressman Khanna and I, we've been good friends. We've been great lawmakers together. We've started a childcare caucus. Our approaches may be different from time to time on different issues, but our goals are always the same. And these are issues that parents, especially moms, that - that they care about and we have to address. From the perspective that I'm looking at, you know, we talk about four-year-old pre-k, we talk about making sure that parents have the freedom and the resources to have childcare options, affordable child care options.

There are increase in costs because of it. Other places say, well, if you're certified in one state, it's not reciprocal in another. And it's just - you know, having some of those approaches that can be easy to fix, fast fix, not controversial, that can pass out of a Republican- controlled House, Democrat-controlled Senate and get to a Democrat president's desk to be signed into law, that's what we've got to be working on.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Yes.

Well, I actually think it's less government, not more, that's getting in the way of this. We saw in December of 2018, when the Azar (ph) report came through making recommendations to states about health care policy and certificate of need, the same kind of thing could be said for, what are some of the easy, low hanging fruit regulations that we can roll back or eradicate or recommend go away.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

It's something we can agree on. It's a good start because right now we're going to have a very difficult time with the appropriations process because of the amount of spending that's going on, because of the additional supplementals. What are some of the small parts that will make a big difference in a mom's life? And that is one thing that I think a lot of us can agree on. It's not going to be easy. We do some large, comprehensive spending package. It's going to have difficulty going through. So, I'm looking for the small parts big difference here policy wise.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

We can incentivize businesses too and make sure that parents have the money to be able to afford childcare. Less taxes would be great.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Thank you. We're working real hard.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
