I voted for Amy because she is a REAL person with real experience, including being a working mother. Of course childcare should be a covered campaign expense if it was needed while she was conducting her campaign. I know she was out knocking on doors and at many meetings and events. I also know that having a small business means working after hours and weekends, so she and her husband were trying to accomplish a lot. Would this be an issue with any man running for public office?
