US Senator Mazie K. Hirono (D-HI) joined colleagues in reintroducing the Child Care for Working Families Act, comprehensive legislation to tackle the child care crisis. She said the measure will help to ensure families across America can find and afford the high-quality child care they need.

US Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) joined 19 senators to reintroduce the Census Improving Data and Enhanced Accuracy (Census IDEA) Act, legislation that would protect the accuracy of future censuses and ensure any proposed changes to the count are properly studied, researched and tested.

US Senators Mazie K. Hirono (D-Hawaiʻi) and Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) along with 35 of their Senate colleagues introduced a resolution to condemn all forms of anti-Asian sentiment, racism, and discrimination.

Sen. Schatz said the letter was sent as the COVID-19 pandemic drags on and “millions of households are facing impossible choices between paying the rent or mortgage, or purchasing food or medicine.”
