The final weeks of election season are incredibly busy, yet nearly 40 candidates and campaign staff for state and federal office carved out time to attend GEEARS’ briefings, which culminated yesterday with an overview of our likely voter poll!

Their presence showed that candidates and elected officials care deeply about our youngest children—and see a strong connection between their well-being and the success of our workforce and economy. In that, they are aligned with the respondents to our likely voter poll, who overwhelmingly favor government supports for working families. Many thanks to our bipartisan pollsters who conducted the briefing—Jay Campbell of Hart Research and Lori Weigel of New Bridge Strategy. And thank you to all who attended the briefings!
