A group of House Democrats announced Thursday they were forming the Congressional Dads Caucus to focus on family issues.
Another member of the Congressional Dads Caucus, Rep. Andy Kim, D-N.J., said all those issues became more real to him when he became a father.
"I decided to run for Congress because I became a dad and all of a sudden these issues that I wasn’t as worried about or focused on when I was doing foreign policy, all of a sudden they became very real about health care, about child care about, about every aspect of our lives," he said.Other members of the Congressional Dads Caucus include Reps. Dan Goldman and Jamaal Bowman of New York, Joe Neguse of Colorado and Joaquin Castro of Texas.
