Friends —
We know that folks are focused on Mark Warner’s lack of cooking skills right now, but he’s cooking up something bigger (and more palatable) with Senators Bernie Sanders, Doug Jones, and Richard Blumenthal. They just released a new plan that would protect the paycheck and health care benefits of every rank-and-file worker in America.
Their proposal, the Paycheck Security Act, would cover the payroll expenses for workers making up to $90,000 per year at any company whose business has been severely impacted by this pandemic. This would not only secure the paychecks and health care benefits for millions of American workers, it would help stabilize the economy and prevent future layoffs. We’re facing a crisis, and this legislation is one way that Mark is working hard to get tangible benefits into the hands of some of the people who need them most.
With unemployment at the highest levels since the Great Depression, families across the Commonwealth and the country are struggling right now. Mark Warner understands we need bold solutions to prevent this public health crisis from turning into an economic recession.
Sign on to be a citizen co-sponsor of The Paycheck Security Act and show your support for this important proposal to protect American workers.
Bottom line: This legislation would keep paychecks coming to the folks who need them and prevent more Americans from losing their employer-sponsored health insurance in the middle of a pandemic.
And yes, this bill could protect the food runners, servers, and chefs at some of our favorite restaurants. Mark knows that some meal preparation is best left to the professionals — and he’s going to do his level best to make sure that those folks, and all of America’s workers, get the pay security they deserve during this pandemic.
He’s not letting this moment of levity distract him from his mission — he’s still fighting to make sure that every Virginian is supported and protected through this outbreak.
Will you show your support for The Paycheck Security Act?
Thank you for your support,
Team Warner
