Political Quotes

“Mr. President, Americans from coast to coast hunkered down to stop the spread of the virus. Office workers, including my staff in Washington, adapted to work from home. But not all Americans can do their jobs from home. Many must work away from home to provide essential services for our communities. I am talking about workers who harvest, process, and deliver our food; the crews who provide sanitation services and keep our communications, transportation, and energy grids running around the clock; America's postal workers and truckdrivers who deliver mail and transport goods across the country; the grocery store clerks and factory workers who make toilet paper, diapers, and consumer products we can't live without. On behalf of Iowans and the rest of America, I thank the frontline workers who are on the job, working away from home, in the line of duty. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice. I yield the floor. ____________________”
