As governor, I would increase support for caregivers by increasing their wages for direct care by at least 50%, 15%, and expanding access to respite care so families can actually get a break when they need it. I also want to invest in training and workforce development across the state with the goal of growing the caregiver workforce by at least 10% statewide during my four years. So families aren't left without options at the end of the day, because when caregivers are struggling, the entire system, as I see it, kind of struggles. (24:52–25:03)
