Published | Video Starts at 00:54

… Republicans would have left us with nothing for child care, but they needed our votes to pass a budget. So let's be clear. This isn't enough and it's not permanent.

We need a long term, sustainable commitment to child care, one that ensures every Wisconsin family has access to quality care they can afford every single day. (00:54–01:01)
