Congressman Derek Tran Receives 2026 Moms’ Seal of Approval on Child Care

National grassroots group supporting women and families awards Tran the seal of approval in his high-stakes race to ensure legislative wins nationwide

Garden Grove, CA – Today, frontline candidate and Democratic nominee Derek Tran, who represents the most competitive House seat in Southern California, received the 2026 Moms’ Seal of Approval on Child Care from national grassroots organization MomsRising.

The Seal of Approval on Child Care reflects Congressman Tran’s strong record fighting for working families and advocating for lower child care costs, equitable access to child care, and sustainable wages for child care educators.

“I’m honored to earn the Moms’ Seal of Approval on Child Care,” said Congressman Tran. “As the father of three young children, I know how expensive it is to raise a family and the importance of having access to affordable child care. While Republicans neglect working families, I’m fighting to lower the costs of child care, children’s food products, and the economic burden on our early childhood professionals. Southern California families deserve a strong champion in Congress – and I’m proud to be in this fight with MomsRising.”

“MomsRising is thrilled to award Derek Tran the 2026 Moms’ Seal of Approval on Child Care,” said Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, Executive Director and CEO of MomsRising. “A father of young children and member of the Congressional Dads Caucus, Rep. Tran knows from personal experience how our country’s care and affordability crises are harming young families, as well as businesses and our economy. He is a powerful champion for policies that will put quality, affordable child care within reach for all children and families, pressing every day for the solutions we need.”

As a member of the Congressional Dads Caucus, Congressman Tran introduced the Keep Kids Covered Act and the Baby Food Tax Relief Act to bring down costs of critical healthcare and food products for children.
