Horsford Announces Childcare Advocate Kelly Maxwell as SOTU Guest
WASHINGTON – Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) announced today that he has invited Kelly Maxwell, CEO and Executive Director of Baby’s Bounty, as his guest for President Biden’s State of the Union speech on March 7, 2024. He issued the following statement:
“As CEO and Executive Director of Baby’s Bounty, Kelly Maxwell works daily to support and remove barriers to Las Vegas-area parents struggling in poverty, from essentials like diapers to improving access to quality childcare. Together, we are working on a childcare solutions summit to address the crisis faced by our families in Nevada. In Congress, I have been proud to support the Expanded Child Tax Credit, which helped lift nearly half of American children out of poverty. Childcare already costs more than public college tuition on average, and it is only getting more expensive and more complicated to find after childcare funds provided through the American Rescue Plan Act expire on September 30th, 2023. I look forward to working with Kelly to alleviate this crisis for all Nevadan families.”
Kelly Maxwell stated:
"Serving my community through nonprofit leadership is the greatest honor of my life. I never imagined it would garner this type of recognition. To say that I’m humbled and honored would be a profound understatement. Thank you, Congressman Horsford for having me as your guest to the State of the Union address, for your bold leadership for all Nevadans and for recognizing the transformative work of Baby’s Bounty."
