Elizabeth Warren's campaign volunteers are providing free child care during the caucuses

Elizabeth Warren’s campaign is offering volunteer-led free child care on Monday night to some caucusgoers with young children.

Warren’s campaign introduced a universal childcare plan last February, along with a calculator that allowed voters to see how much they would save if the program were enacted.

“The difficulty of accessing affordable and high-quality child care puts parents in a bind — forcing them to choose between breaking the budget, cutting back work hours, or settling for lower-quality care,” Warren wrote in a Medium post.

Thank you Elizabeth Warren. You take the pressure off a mom and dad by taking care of the child, while making critical decisions for their future.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

Go Warren.

I think there's some complexity in implementation of childcare, though. Just thinking about the childcare for caucus goers - great idea, but how is liability being handled? Face it if anything happens to someone's kid, it could be a major backfire. Hopefully they dotted all the i's and crossed the t's there.
