Friend —
As Mark Warner continues to work hard to make life better for every Virginian, our team is committed to sending these weekly updates to keep folks around Virginia up to date with what Mark is focused on now that the Senate is back in session this week.
Here’s what Mark is working on right now:
-
With less than 60 days until Election Day on November 3rd, Mark is pressuring Congress to take legislative action against foreign interference in our elections. He wants to ensure we are protected from targeted attacks on social media, and is working to push legislation including the Foreign Influence Reporting in Elections (FIRE) Act and the Honest Ads Act for more transparency in digital advertising and foreign interference in political campaigns.
-
Virginians are hurting because of changes made to the U.S. Postal Service under Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. Mark is demanding that DeJoy reverse changes to operations at USPS that have caused delays to critical medications and other important mail. Mark will continue to pressure DeJoy to reverse these changes and keep the agency running smoothly, especially in the lead-up to the general election.
-
During a roundtable discussion at Smithfield Foods, Mark talked with business owners about their financial struggles during the pandemic. Mark is committed to getting these businesses the relief they need to survive the pandemic and emerge stronger.
-
Mark joined Rep. Abigail Spanberger and leaders of Chesterfield County Public Schools to discuss the challenges they face as they prepare for reopening schools and virtual learning. Mark will work to support schools and students across the Commonwealth during the coronavirus pandemic.
-
Labor Day usually means the beginning of politics in Virginia — but Mark was glad not to miss out on the annual Buena Vista Labor Day tradition as it went virtual this year. Mark sent his warm wishes in a video to celebrate the tradition.
-
Earlier this week, Mark and Senator Tim Kaine hosted a Facebook Live town hall to answer questions about coronavirus relief and other issues facing Virginians during the pandemic. If you missed the live broadcast, click here to view, and be on the lookout for more town halls as we get closer to Election Day on November 3rd.
Thank you for your continued support.
— Team Warner
