Rep. Jimmy Gomez, founder of the Dads Caucus, is focused on family policies impacting working-class men. The caucus advocates for family leave, affordable child care, and the child tax credit. Gomez notes the economic struggles families face, such as rising food prices and the high cost of housing and childcare. He emphasizes the need to address these issues to support working families. Despite a shift towards Republican candidates among Latino voters, Gomez believes it is important to understand their experiences rather than blame misogyny for their political choices. The Dads Caucus, now a bicameral group with 39 House members and three Senators, is open to bipartisanship and supported the child tax credit expansion. The caucus is also exploring the negative impact of social media on young men and is working on policies to address this issue. Gomez sees the role of the caucus as leading discussions and advocating for bills that support families and working-class individuals. He stresses the importance of bipartisan cooperation in addressing common issues such as housing affordability. Overall, the Dads Caucus aims to enact policies that benefit families and contribute to a better future for all.
