Dear Friend,
This November, an unprecedented number of Americans participated in our Presidential election – an election that was hailed by our nation’s top experts as the most secure in modern history. With their vote, Americans overwhelmingly decided on the need to take our nation in a different direction, and now that November is behind us, I am eager to work with the incoming Biden-Harris Administration to get the virus under control, provide comprehensive relief to struggling Americans, and ensure a successful and equitable distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The good news is that I’m not waiting for January 20th to take action. Over Thanksgiving, I teamed up with a bipartisan group of colleagues to put forward a bipartisan framework to provide emergency COVID-19 relief to American students, families, businesses, workers and health care providers during this crisis. As negotiations continue, I remain hopeful that Congress will get behind our effort before the holiday so that it can help get Americans through the winter months and serve as a bridge to the incoming Administration.
In the meantime, I’m looking to the future and examining what else we can do to make sure our country can come back better once this crisis is over. The 117th Congress is scheduled to convene on January 3rd, 2021, and you can trust that I am ready to get to work for every Virginian. That’s why today, I would like to hear from YOU about the issues that matter most to you.
I encourage you to fill out the survey below and let me know what you’d like to see me focus on in the next Congress.
As always, you can count on me to keep working to help Virginians get through this tough time. We must also continue to care for our neighbors by practicing social distancing, wearing masks, and staying at home.
If you want to share your thoughts about an issue that’s important to you, you can send me an email any time using the form on my Senate website. You can also follow me on Facebook and Twitter. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
