From Tom and Christina Becker

To the Editor:

I have seen many photo opportunities on social media but none at a daycare facility of type.

Back in October 2023, my wife and I publicly invited Representative Novak to visit our Family Daycare in Monroe, WI.  This invite is still open as Rep Novak has not contacted us.

Again, I refer to his website in which the following is posted.

“I enjoy hearing from those that I proudly represent. Your input and comments are invaluable to me as I represent you in Madison. As my employer, your role in the legislative process ensures that I am doing the job you elected me to do. It is for that reason that I encourage you to contact my office with any concerns or opinions you wish to share.

Please know my door is always open so do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or if I can ever be of assistance.”

If your door is open, why will you not contact us and discuss the issues within childcare in the state of Wisconsin?

Are you afraid that you are wrong in your thinking?  Have you even talked or visited any Family Daycare’s in your district? Why do you believe that the daycare industry does not deserve funding? Those who have children can work because they have affordable and quality childcare in either a group or family setting.

 Please consider coming and speaking with the actual professionals on the challenges facing the profession and industry of childcare.

Representative Novak, please remember that the citizens of your district elected you.
