Abortion, parental rights, trans issues: What would a Kamala Harris victory look like?
Education and parental rights
Harris’ campaign website includes a vow that the candidate will “fight to ensure parents can afford high-quality child care and preschool for children.” Additional priorities of the candidate when it comes to education include working to “strengthen public education and training as a pathway to the middle class” and seeking to “end the unreasonable burden of student loan debt and fight to make higher education more affordable, so that college can be a ticket to the middle class.”
The Harris campaign’s economic policy booklet, titled “A New Way Forward for the Middle Class,” includes plans to give a $6,000 tax cut to low and middle-income American families in the first year of their child’s life. It also outlines the Harris campaign’s commitment to “provide a tax credit of up to $3,600 per child for the middle class and the most hard-pressed working families with children.”
“Vice President Harris and Governor Walz are committed to ending unnecessary degree requirements so that good-paying jobs are available to all Americans, not just those with college degrees,” the booklet states. “They will support all viable, high-quality paths to good jobs, such as registered apprenticeships, joint labor-management programs, innovative partnerships between school districts and industries, and career and technical education programs.”

The campaign website notes that a Harris administration would work to “scale up programs that create good career pathways for non-college students.”
According to the booklet, “As President, [Harris] will get rid of unnecessary degree requirements for hundreds of thousands of federal jobs and will challenge the private sector and state and local governments to take similar action.”
