Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 27, 2020
Time is of the essence. Our country has been upended by COVID-19. Businesses have shuttered their doors, families sitting around their kitchen tables are struggling to make ends meet, our healthcare workers are stretched thin, and our economy has been hurt. Yet, earlier this week, some of my colleagues across the aisle attempted to commandeer negotiations to advance socialist provisions that are antithetical to combatting COVID-19. Now is not the time for political showmanship. The eyes of our nation are affixed to Congress, and it's our solemn duty to protect the American people. To our nation's deeply committed healthcare workers who put their lives on the line to treat and protect patients, our nation's truck drivers who deliver food and critical supplies to grocery stores and businesses, manufacturers who have stepped up to the plate to produce PPE's and other essential equipment, and our steadfast police officers and first responders on the front lines of this crisis, we truly owe you a debt of gratitude. May God bless you all.
