She hoped the event wouldn’t fall on a day when she was scheduled to be in Washington. Thankfully, she got lucky and was able to attend, she said.
But Capitol Hill has never been family friendly, Rep. Linda T. Sánchez said. “Congress wasn’t built for working mothers, and it really shows,” she said.
