Debbie Wasserman Schultz
The Florida congresswoman made it her personal priority to help pass the federal pool-safety legislation that President Bush signed into law in December. As a result, all public pools and spas in the country will be fitted with drain covers and other safety devices that will surely reduce kids’ injuries in the coming years.
Mark Pryor
The Arkansas senator is spearheading a bill that will make toys, cribs, and other products your kids use much safer. It gives the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) increased funding and authority to inspect products. Plus, it mandates that an independent third party test all children’s products.
Chris Dodd
Representing Connecticut, Dodd formed the first children’s caucus in the U.S. Senate and championed legislation that allocated funding for programs to prevent fire and burn injuries in kids. He’s also a strong advocate for other family issues, like education and childcare.
