Okay.
In going through the bullets you have here—and I recognize the reticence you have about perhaps going into great detail—I noticed, as well, the idea that “childcare and housekeeping should be included as legitimate campaign expenses for both nomination contests and general elections”.
The thought that occurred to me there—and I see your point very clearly—is if you do something like setting the ceiling on spending for a nomination contest at $5,000, and nominations could be reasonably lengthy occurrences in some cases—I wonder if it would make sense to alter that recommendation to something along the lines of “child care and housekeeping expenses should be regarded as additional to other expenses outside the limit”. This is done in elections for the purposes of paying scrutineers. You can pay scrutineers and it's considered outside the limit. Travel expenses, to some degree, are considered outside the limit.
Although you might allow women to write off their child care expenses, in the end I think you can see how you'd be lowering the ceiling they have. If you take the total amount, say $14,000 or $15,000, and it's now down to $5,000, a large proportion of what's available would get eaten up in these expenses. That wouldn't actually level the playing field in the way you're suggesting. I think the overall idea is a good one; I'm just worried about the practical implications of it.
Sorry, I just put words in your mouth, but I was just wondering—
