The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted each of us individually, our communities, and our Commonwealth. Throughout the pandemic, my office sent out COVID-19 newsletters to keep my constituents updated on news and resources available to them. In addition, I have sponsored multiple bills to protect frontline healthcare workers, increase unemployment insurance benefits for low wage workers, and provide emergency tax relief to workers who collected unemployment during the pandemic. I am determined to build back from the damage of COVID-19, and I will continue work to restore our vibrant community.
