House GOP Leadership LetterThis letter from First Focus Campaign for Children President Bruce Lesley urges House majority leadership — Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, and Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers — to make children a priority in upcoming fiscal and policy debates. Observing that recent policy proposals have omitted children or considered children an afterthought, it cites a long track record of Republican leadership on children’s issues and urges a renewed focus, dialogue, and progress for children.
