Posted · Add Comment

First Focus Campaign For Children has recognized Congressman Steve Cohen with its 2015 Champion For Children Award for his work on preventing child trafficking and foster care.

“I am honored to be receiving the Champion for Children Award from the First Focus Campaign for Children. There are far too many children in America suffering from malnutrition, poverty, child trafficking and other ailments. My father was a pediatrician so a passion for protecting our children has always been part of my DNA. I vow to never give up on our children and will always work to help them as long as I am in Congress,” said Congressman Cohen.

The First Focus Campaign for Children is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization affiliated with First Focus, a bipartisan children’s advocacy organization. The Campaign for Children advocates directly for legislative change in Congress to ensure children and families are a priority in federal policy and budget decisions.

First Focus previously recognized Congressman Cohen in 2011 by presenting him with the Defender of Children Award.
