From the Rock Island Arsenal to the Peoria Air National Guard Base to research facilities in Rockford, this package upholds our region’s strong tradition of service, strengthens protections for Gold Star families, and improves and protects benefits for our National Guard. (4/5) — PolitiTweet.org

This defense authorization package is critical to the operation of our military and honors those who put their lives on the line to serve our nation – if this lame-duck President won’t put his own ego aside to do what’s right for America, my colleagues and I will. (3/5) — PolitiTweet.org

His decision to reject this overwhelmingly bipartisan legislation – for reasons completely unrelated to our military – is cruel and reveals his utter disdain for the men and women in uniform who protect our country every day. (2/5) — PolitiTweet.org

I've long supported larger direct payments & would eagerly vote to increase relief to $2,000. After months of talk, Trump is finally in support too. But a gov't shutdown would put more lives & livelihoods at risk. Trump should sign the package as Congress passes more relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Simply put, it's not enough. Many of the cities and towns I serve will need additional help to avoid city layoffs and keep critical services going, like emergency and snow removal. But this will help us start to get control of this pandemic while we work toward our next step. — PolitiTweet.org
