Donald TrumpDonald Trump Jr. shares tweet he says is 'confirmation deep state is real' Charlie Gard will likely die soon — let's learn from the battle WaPo: FBI investigated Bobby Knight groping complaints at spy agency MORE's daughter Ivanka has reportedly been making phone calls to lawmakers about child care legislation.
A transition source told CNN that Trump has been calling female members of Congress she met on Capitol Hill in September, as well as the members of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Sarah Chamberlain, the president and CEO of the Republican Main Street Partnership, also told the Independent Journal Review that the president-elect's daughter has been calling GOP lawmakers since her father's victory on Election Day.
Chamberlain also told the publication that Trump is hoping to play an important role in the upcoming administration.
“I think she’s hoping to [play a large role in the administration]. It did come out she’s gonna have an office in the East Wing and actually I think she’s gonna be a great addition. I think she was a huge help in getting her father elected,” she said.
The Trump camp has pushed back against those reports, however.
During his presidential campaign, Trump introduced potential policies he said are designed make child care more affordable.
"We need working mothers to be fairly compensated for their work, and to have access to affordable, quality child care for their kids," Trump said while unveiling his proposal in September.
