we are not going to be able to address the cost crisis that young families in my state are facing, that people across our country are facing, if we don't do all we can as a Democratic Congress to lay the foundation for paid family and medical leave, universal child care and home and elder care that's genuinely quality and affordable for everyone that needs it.
I will work to lay the foundation for paid family and medical leave, universal child care, and quality affordable home and elder care.

The New Democrat Coalition reported that Care Economy Task Force Chair Sarah McBride hosted a Wilmington, Delaware care economy roundtable with House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan. Attendees discussed strategies for building bipartisan support to advance nationwide paid family and medical leave reforms and expand access to high-quality and affordable childcare and elder care.
Assessments
McBride took same-term federal actions aligned with the promise, including introducing H.R. 7505 on family and medical leave and leading care-economy agenda-building around paid leave, child care, and elder care. However, the cited record shows introduction, referral, and coalition work rather than enacted or otherwise completed federal policy establishing paid family and medical leave, universal child care, or affordable home and elder care. This supports partial credit with a serious-effort badge, not full delivery.
