If A Parent’s Day Job Is Running For Congress, Can The Campaign Pay For Child Care?

“My mother is a teacher. She comes home at 3:30 every afternoon, and she would watch my children from 3:30 on, and that’s when I’d start consulting,” Grechen Shirley said.

But then last year she started thinking she might want to run for Congress, as a Democrat in New York’s Second Congressional District. That presented a problem.

“I had thought about it for much of last year, but I decided with two small children I wouldn’t be able to do that,” Grechen Shirley said. “There were so many barriers, and one of those barriers was child care.”
She eventually decided to run anyway and use campaign funds to pay for child care. Now, she’s asking the Federal Election Commission to rule whether that’s allowed.
