John,

As more and more cases of coronavirus are reported across the country, it is important we do not give in to fear and panic. We must take precautionary measures to limit the spread of the virus and protect our communities. Every effort to contain the spread of this virus will result in lives saved. As we take the steps necessary to stop the spread, there will be challenges for millions of Americans.

This is a time where our nation's leaders must put partisan politics aside, allow the experts to guide our decisions, and take care of those who will be hurt economically by these necessary measures.

Last night, the House passed a bill to help those who'll be economically impacted by measures implemented to reduce the spread of coronavirus. The bill includes critically important actions- including free testing, extended unemployment benefits & food asst. for children & seniors.

However, it's not enough. Congress must work to expand the bill to include paid sick leave for ALL workers who are experiencing symptoms or are at greater risk, not just the approximately 20% American workers outlined in the current legislation. This is not a time to prioritize corporate profits. We must also fully restore the Office of Pandemic Response so we are appropriately prepared in the future.

These measures are the right first steps to take to protect our communities at large. I urge our nation's leaders to put partisan politics aside and make the health of Americans the overarching focus. There will be new challenges as we work our way through this, and our leaders must be proactive with solutions without political gamesmanship. Lives are at stake.

This is a moment that will test the fabric of our nation. We must always remember to look out for those less fortunate in our communities, to never close our hearts, and to put facts and science first.

We will get through this, together.
