| Jessica Swartz supports future efforts to renew expansion of the Child Tax Credit, to support working families. | The Expanded Child Tax Credit: Our community is full of families. In fact, 24 percent of our community’s residents are children. The expanded Child Tax Credit provided up to $3,600 per child, lifting millions of families out of poverty. | Bill Huizenga voted against expanding the Child Tax Credit. |
| Jessica Swartz can be counted on to protect and support expansion of the Affordable Care Act and other reforms that make healthcare more affordable. | Making Health Care Affordable: There are still too many people without health insurance in our community. In fact, 5 percent of people here are uninsured, more than most other communities. The American Rescue plan expanded the Affordable Care Act (Also called the ACA or Obamacare) that provides access to affordable insurance and protects Americans with pre-existing conditions. | Bill Huizenga voted against expanding the Affordable Care Act. |
| Jessica Swartz can be counted on to fight for Michiganders struggling under rising student debt. | Student Loan Debt: Too many people in our community are struggling with debt. On average, for every $10,000 someone here makes annually, they carry $15,800 in total debt. That’s why government measures to reduce student loan debt are so critical here. | Bill Huizenga voted to block student loan forgiveness, keeping millions of struggling Americans saddled with crushing debt. |
