Hello, friend,
It’s been a while since we last spoke—and the world is a very different place now. So I want to take the time today to give you an update on the work I’ve done over the last few months.
Throughout March and April, Susan and I were fortunate to have our girls—Caroline, Halina, and Anne—with us in Colorado. We spent the time at home, doing our part to flatten the curve.

Since the pandemic began, I’ve spoken with tens of thousands of constituents via Zoom videos and conference calls, learning about what’s keeping them up at night, how their businesses are affected, how their kids are doing in school, and what the Senate can do to help.
While I was energized by the resolve, strength, and innovativeness of Coloradans, these conversations also reminded me just how out of touch Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and their allies are with the crisis faced by hard-working Americans.
This is simply unacceptable, and it’s why I’ve been in Washington this week with my Senate colleagues to fight for relief for the families and workers who need it most.
Here are a few of the changes I’m fighting for: *
Providing
personal
protective
equipment
(PPE)
to
those
who
need
it
most:
Doctors,
nurses,
and
other
frontline
healthcare
workers
face
grave
shortages
of
masks,
gloves,
and
other
protective
equipment—as
do
our
food
industry
workers
who
are
doing
the
hard
work
of
keeping
Americans
fed
throughout
the
crisis.
*
Supporting
workers,
families,
and
small
businesses
in
a
struggling
economy:
In
times
of
economic
crisis,
we
should
have
an
automatic
and
immediate
response
to
support
families
and
businesses—including
direct
cash
payments,
unemployment
insurance,
expanded
SNAP
nutrition
benefits,
and
increased
Medicaid
support.
We
also
need
to
fix
issues
with
PPP
so
we
can
give
better-targeted
relief
to
hard-hit
businesses,
such
as
restaurants
and
hotels.
*
Increased
support
for
state
and
local
governments:
We
need
to
increase
funding
so
local
governments
aren’t
forced
to
lay
off
teachers,
police
officers,
and
fire
fighters,
or
shortchange
critical
repairs
to
our
roads
and
bridges.
This
includes
at
least
$500
billion
for
states
and
$250
billion
for
local
governments.
I won’t lie, friend: these are huge goals. But the scope of the recovery must match the unprecedented scale of this crisis.
I know you may feel frustrated or even hopeless, but the best way to help is by staying home, wearing your mask, and following the guidance from your local health department. Although it may feel like you aren’t doing much, we're starting to see the difference that can make in Colorado.
If you’re looking for more ways to help, I spent a day volunteering with the Food Bank of the Rockies in Denver, staying distant and delivering fresh food boxes to Coloradans. As people across the country face record levels of food insecurity, mobile food pantries like this one are taking on ever-growing importance. If you’re financially able, making a donation to them, or your local food bank, would be greatly appreciated.

I know times may seem dark now. But I also know we live in a country that is up to the challenge we face. It won’t be a short fight—or an easy one—but if we unite around a common goal, we will make our world a safer, healthier, stronger place for this generation and the next.
Together,
Michael
