We need a highly coordinated effort between all levels of government to address and mitigate the impact of Covid-19. I joined my colleagues in the Oregon delegation, Senator Jeff Merkley, Senator Ron Wyden, Congresswoman Suzanne Bomanici, and Congressman Earl Blumenauer to demand that Vice President Pence fulfill Governor Kate Brown’s request for essential protective equipment and testing kits.

I am a strong supporter of the House bill introduced yesterday to provide wide-ranging relief: free coronavirus testing, emergency paid leave, expanded unemployment insurance, paid sick leave, and food security assistance. We need to do everything we can to increase testing and bolster prevention & preparedness to keep Americans safe.
