Moms are powering elections in 2026.

Our votes decide what comes next.

This year, moms are voting for health care we can count on, affordable child care for all, paid family and medical leave, lower costs, reproductive freedom, safe communities and strong public schools, and a democracy that works for every family.

Vote on (or before!) Tuesday, November 3rd. Early voting is already underway in many states.

Moms’ Seal of Approval on Child Care

Moms’ Seal of Approval on Child Care

Child care costs more than public college tuition in many states. The mom-made, mom-approved Moms’ Seal of Approval on Child Care identifies candidates committed to working with moms and families to make child care affordable, accessible, and high-quality for every family. These candidates for Congress have earned it, listed by state.

Care Champions

MomsRising Together celebrates that these Care Champion candidates will stand up for moms and families in Congress.
