Green Independent Pat LaMarche says, as governor, she would provide day care at the State House as a way to encourage women to run for the Legislature.

"Keeping our children close will also help remind leaders what is truly important for state government"

— Pat LaMarche

According to LaMarche, a number of progressive businesses offer on-site day care, and it's time the state join them.

LaMarche made the suggestion during the Women's Policy Center "Breakfast of Champions" last week in Portland. She drew a round of applause and general agreement from the other candidates at the forum.

"Keeping our children close will also help remind leaders what is truly important for state government," LaMarche said.
