Pass paid family leave legislation

James Talarico supports passing paid family leave legislation so workers can take time off to bond with a new child or care for a seriously ill family member. He presents this as a way to help Texans avoid having to choose between their careers and their families; the campaign priorities describe it as a proposal for Americans. Talarico previously filed Texas legislation to enact paid family leave and says he helped establish a regulatory framework for family leave insurance policies.
