Dear Friend, All over Kentucky and America we are coming together in our fight against COVID-19. While these are challenging and unprecedented times, I believe in America. Throughout our history we the American people have persevered and conquered great challenges. Together we are going to win this war and America will prevail. Below are some important updates on the efforts to combat this virus.

The CARES Act signed into law by President Trump equips hospitals and our healthcare workers with vital resources and gives American families and small business owners the cash flow they need to get back to work.
