Over the past decade, visionary mayors, council members, county commissioners, and municipal administrators have been champions for funding critical programs and services for the infants, toddlers, children, and youth in their communities. Simply put, we can’t support our kids without the efforts of our local policymakers.
For a look at how policymakers around the country are approaching this issue, check out our interviews with Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney and Congressman Greg Landsman, a former member of the Cincinnati, OH, City Council. We’ve also put together a fact sheet about how local policymakers can support strategic public financing in their communities.
Be sure to follow our newsletter and socials for our upcoming policymaker interview series, where we’ll be talking to more local leaders about how they support children and youth in their communities.
