As the American people face the devastating Coronavirus, Republican Senators are stepping up to provide calm, steady leadership.
First and foremost, despite Democrats’ delays, the Senate passed the CARES Act that will provide much-needed money and resources to American workers, families, small businesses, and healthcare systems.
Into the States
Alaska
Dan Sullivan is leading the charge to continue delivering relief to Alaskans affected by the Coronavirus.
Dan is among several senators who signed a letter warning the Saudis against using oil in economic warfare against the United States during a global pandemic.
Arizona
With the Coronavirus pandemic spreading and Democrats delaying the passage of the CARES Act, Martha McSally stressed the urgency of getting a bill through the Senate so that Arizona families and small businesses could get the money they need as quickly as possible.

Cory also is taking a three-prong approach to make sure Coloradans have the money and resources they need during this pandemic and to have the ability to recover and reopen businesses when it’s over:
1) Address the immediate health epidemic
2) Make sure we provide individuals immediate assistance
3) Get our businesses up and running again to make sure when the health emergency is over we can have an economy that snaps back and runs strong
Cory secured support from President Trump to permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
A Denver Post article applauded Cory’s recent success saying “Gardner has done good work to advocate for a fully funded Land and Water Conservation Fund since taking office.”
Georgia
Amidst the Coronavirus pandemic, David Perdue introduced a plan to exempt payroll taxes to provide relief and relieve some stress for workers and families across the country.
