  • Keep the parent share of child care cost constant, to support our youngest residents and keep their parents working.
  • Restore Invest-in-Kids Funding which provides dozens of programs - such as tutoring, mentoring, arts, leadership, job readiness - for thousands of young people throughout the County. 
     
  • Maintain our Neighborhood Health Centers, which provide medical care for thousands of uninsured children and families in communities from Cortlandt to Mt. Vernon.
