California put FREE college and career savings accounts in the hands of our kids. Now 1 MILLION families have claimed them — and more than $82 MILLION has already gone directly toward education and career training. Washington is now following California’s lead. Good. Investing in our kids shouldn’t be partisan.

ONE MILLION CalKIDS accounts have now been claimed in California — putting up to $1,500 in baby bond accounts to help pay for college, career training, or any path after high school. Every kid deserves a shot at a bright future, no matter how much money their family makes.

I encourage everyone to sign up for BOTH CalKIDS and Trump Accounts. This is your child's money, and everyone should take advantage of these programs.
