Hi there --

I hope you're not sick of hearing about incredible things that our alumni are doing in office, because I'm never going to get sick of telling you about them. Here we go:

• In Virginia, Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy lays out some key ways the state government can do more to help Virginians: increasing the cap on unemployment benefits, funds for businesses making PPE and medical supplies, and passing paid sick leave through a special session.
• In Missouri, County Clerk Brianna Lennon -- who actually administers elections -- argues for the Missouri legislature to expand access to the polls during this pandemic by loosening rules around mail-in voting as soon as possible.
• In Pennsylvania, Rep. Sara Innamorato joined three others to work on legislation freezing rent and mortgage payments. Meanwhile, Rep. Liz Hanbridge is working to give folks an additional 60 days to pay their property taxes.
• In Ohio, State Rep. Phil Robinson is leading on legislation to help the state’s schools, including waiving state testing, mitigating the expansion of a voucher program that was hurting school budgets, and providing additional assistance to districts in need.
• In Utah, South Salt Lake City Councilmember Natalie Pinckney is working to bring her city into the 21st century when it matters most by revamping the website, creating some kind of hotline, and possibly providing folks free financial advisors.
• In Massachusetts, Rep. Tram Nguyen is fighting for hazard duty pay for first responders. Meanwhile, Boston City Councilmember Lydia Edwards is calling for shifting funds to rental assistance while they debate temporarily ending rent collection overall.
• In Florida, Rep. Anna Eskamani is continuing to push for a statewide moratorium on evictions. Joshua Simmons, Coral Springs Commissioner, wrote a powerful op-ed.

I am so grateful that these public servants are doing what they're doing, and so, so ready to elect more young progressives like them. But with our fundraising plans for the spring thrown out the window, we need your help. If you can, chip in today. Even a few dollars will help.
