 Friend -- This week marks the first 100 days of the Biden administration. Already, together, we have done so much for the American people. We've sent direct stimulus payments to millions of Americans. We've subsidized COVID-19 vaccination efforts, leading to more than 50% of Americans 16 and older getting at least one dose of the vaccine. We've provided funding for supplemental unemployment benefits, for child tax credits, to elementary and middle schools, for expanded broadband access, and to state and local governments. That's just the start: We're finally making progress on infrastructure, climate change, voting rights, and so much more. But the truth is that none of this would have been possible without the slim Democratic majority we currently have in the Senate. Republicans have shown little interest in passing any substantive policy that helps Americans. (In fact, not a single Republican voted for any of the above, if you can believe it.) Imagine how much more we could accomplish in the Senate with a more comfortable Democratic majority. We have a real shot at expanding the Democratic Senate majority in 2022, and that work starts now. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Patrick Leahy
