Dear Friend,
As our nation continues to grapple with the widespread affects of COVID-19, I want to reassure you that I am working hard in Congress to provide relief to the American public. We are all struggling during these difficult times but with each passing day, we must recommitt ourselves to doing our part in slowing the spread of the virus.
With tomorrow being Thanksgiving, it's important we take a moment to reflect on the good we've experienced, the lessons learned as well as the obstacles faced. I know it may be difficult to see the silver-lining this year - as many of us are hurting due to the pandemic - but we will overcome the tragedies endured and we will be stronger because of it.
Congress was back in session this past week. I voted to advance the National Apprenticeship Act of 2020 - legislation to create 1 MILLION new apprenticeship opportunities to help Americans get back to work. This is critical to building back our workforce in the face of the pandemic.
In the district, I supported the Valley Land Fund in their fight to protect the Salineño Wildlife Preserve from border wall construction.
My offices attended events district-wide and continue to be a resource for anyone needing assistance with federal agenices.
As always, I encourage you to follow me on my social media platforms and stay up to date on all things TX-28.
