Hi John,

I hope you all are enjoying the end to the long weekend. Since today is Labor Day, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the labor movement and what it means for our country.

The labor movement has made life safer and more prosperous for working people all across the country. In these difficult times, we cannot forget that our workers are the backbone of the economy and they deserve our thanks and respect.

Since day one, my career in public service has been driven by a commitment to America’s working families. Over the years, I’ve been proud to stand with Maine’s unions and their members.

It shouldn’t be partisan or divisive to claim that everyone deserves a fair shake from their employers and from our economy. Because at the end of the day, our country functions best when we’re all able to prosper, not just the wealthiest or most powerful among us.

As we rebuild our economy in the wake of the COVID crisis, we need to make sure we are supporting working families all across the country. It’s within our power to create a fairer economy, but only if our political leaders can put aside their partisan priorities and commit themselves to working on behalf of the American people.

So today and every day, I’m committed to fighting for Maine’s workers. And in all the work ahead, I promise to keep you, the people, as my one and only priority.

In solidarity,

Jared
