Choose Children California 2018

Choose Children is a campaign to ensure the election of a governor who is a champion for young children who makes early childhood care and education more accessible, affordable, and of higher quality for all children.

The goal was for every gubernatorial candidate to publicly commit to supporting early childhood care and education and, should they be elected, take immediate action to support infants, toddlers and preschoolers during the first 100 days of their Administration and beyond.
