Free Universal Child Care

As Governor of Arizona, I will work to implement free universal childcare modeled after the successful program in New Mexico. My plan will use a tiered funding system that does not require raising taxes on Arizona families. Instead, funding will come from reducing government waste, fraud, and misuse of existing taxpayer dollars and redirecting those savings toward childcare services. I will also create employer rebate and incentive programs that help businesses provide childcare support for their employees. This approach will increase access to affordable childcare, strengthen Arizona's workforce, help parents return to work, and improve economic opportunities for families across the state without placing additional tax burdens on residents.
