Third Way Statement on the All-American Family Agenda
WASHINGTON—Third Way issued the following statement from Sandy Max, Deputy Director of Health Care.
“As families across the country face rising costs and growing barriers to care, Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-VA) is putting forward a better vision: one where every person has the freedom and support to build a family if, how, and when they choose—and keep that family healthy and financially secure.
“That’s why Third Way applauds Rep. McClellan’s ‘All-American Family Agenda’ which speaks to the real pressures families are facing today—from health care costs and reproductive health to caregiving and the cost of everyday life. It recognizes that supporting families means more than celebrating them. It means making sure people can afford to start a family, raise children, access care, and build stable lives.
“The All-American Agenda supports all families—regardless of sexual orientation, marital status, race, ethnicity, or income. It reflects a vision of family that is inclusive, modern, and rooted in the freedom to make deeply personal decisions without politicians standing in the way.
“Third Way thanks Rep. McClellan for her leadership in strengthening maternal health, supporting family financial security, and advancing an agenda that gives families the freedom and support they need to thrive as America celebrates 250 years as a nation.”
