About the Caucus
The Dads Caucus is dedicated to championing the needs of working families. Our mission is grounded in a fundamental belief: Dads need to do more to advocate for policies that uplift parents and children across the country.
Our focus is clear—advocating for a national paid leave program, ensuring affordable and accessible child care, and supporting the expansion of the Child Tax Credit. These initiatives have already proven effective in ending child poverty and promoting families’ financial success and well-being.
We firmly believe that by rallying behind these policies, we pave the way for an equitable future for all of our families. We are committed to shaping a brighter tomorrow for our children.
Expanded Child Tax Credit
We’re working to strengthen financial security for families through the enhanced Child Tax Credit.
Accessible Child Care
Our families need access to quality and affordable child care to thrive.
Paid Family Leave
By advocating for national paid family leave, we can ensure families can care for their loved ones in critical times.
