Increasing the Child Tax Credit has bi-partisan support in Congress. Even than, many Republicans use expanding the tax credit as a way to gather votes, yet never deliver. In fact in 2024, GOP Senators rejected a tax package that had common ground in the House.

The Trump Administration and his GOP buddies give tax cuts to their wealthy friends all the while pretending to care about us. In 2025, the House, passed provisions for a slight increase from $2k to $2.5k for child tax benefits. Sadly, families who are better off will receive a tax cut that is twice the amount and there are families who make too little to receive credits.

Because of this, there are still 17 million children in low-income household who receive little to no tax credits. Approximately 1 in 4 children.

2025 was the 1st year my family received a tax credit. It allows working class families like mine to have some financial stability by supplying a tax break to those with children. Being your congresswoman, I will:

• Champion for a $5k expansion of tax credits by effectively taxing the rich

• Eliminate barriers for low-income families who don't meet the threshold

• Make tax credits permanent, not temporary
