THE FIRST FOCUS CAMPAIGN FOR CHILDREN CONGRESSIONAL SCORECARD

Our nation’s children face an array of problems, including poverty, violence, abuse, neglect, hunger, education inequity, poor nutrition, homelessness, lack of health coverage, infant and child mortality, and family separation of mixed immigrant households. These issues demand attention, policy solutions, political will, and action that make children a priority.

Unfortunately, kids are far too often an afterthought in Congress. The problem is that children don’t vote and don’t have Political Action Committees (PACs) that garner and demand attention.

Children need Champions and Defenders who are willing to focus on, support, raise their voices, and attach their name to legislation that would improve the lives of our nation’s children and actively oppose legislation that would harm kids. 

In an attempt to recognize those lawmakers in the second session of the 115th Congress who worked to improve the lives of our nation’s children through public policy change, we are pleased to present our 2018 Scorecard.
