Booker | B001288 | www.booker.senate.gov | booker | https://www.booker.senate.gov/news/press | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) joined Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Representatives Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and Suzan DelBene (D-WA) — members of a group often referred to as the ‘CTC Six’ —to hold a press conference to highlight the skyrocketing child poverty rate and urge Congress to restore the expanded, enhanced Child Tax Credit (CTC). Yesterday, the U.S. Census Bureau released its annual Supplemental Poverty Measure revealing that the child poverty rate rose from 5.2 percent to 12.4 percent between 2021 and 2022, an almost 140 percent increase in a single year.
