Congresswoman April McClain Delaney Leads Forum on Affordability Crisis Impacting Women in Montgomery County
Congresswoman April McClain Delaney recently organized a forum in Germantown, Maryland, focusing on the affordability crisis affecting women and families in Montgomery County. The event brought together local leaders, including Maryland Comptroller Brooke Lierman and State Delegate Lily Qi, to discuss economic challenges and legislative efforts to alleviate financial burdens. The forum highlighted the disproportionate impact of rising costs on women, who often serve as primary caregivers and face economic hardships. Delaney emphasized her 'Costs Down, Opportunities Up' agenda, which aims to lower prescription drug prices, expand affordable childcare, and ensure paid family leave. The discussion, moderated by Paula Ross of the Gaithersburg Germantown Chamber of Commerce, underscored the need for strategic investments to support economic growth and workforce stability.
