Issue Position: COVID-19 Response

Issue Position

The complete failure of the White House's response to anticipate, prepare, and react to the coronavirus has wrecked our economy and, at the time of this writing, claimed more than 125,000 American lives despite having a plan in hand, provided by the Obama administration. We deserve better.

In Congress, I cosponsored and supported House Democrats' four COVID-19 response bills that provided stimulus checks, extended unemployment insurance, created the Payroll Protection Program and countless other rescue provisions for those who have faced the absolute worst consequences of this avoidable pandemic within our borders.

At the time of this writing in the summer of 2020, I continue to urge the Senate to give the Heroes Act the up-or-down vote we deserve, which would provide $100 million in sorely needed support to our hospitals in the Capital Region, among many other provisions.

I will continue to stand against this administration's ineptitude and misguided decisions related to COVID-19, and I will keep fighting for you long after we inevitably prevail over the virus. We must learn from the mistakes of this crisis, or else we are doomed to repeat them.
