After filling out paperwork and obtaining corrected and updated medical records, the VA finally granted the constituent his pension, giving him the maximum allowable amount. His daughter followed up with the message below: https://t.co/ks54SlW88F — PolitiTweet.org

He was told the process to get his military medical records from 75 years ago would take some time since the records were destroyed in a fire. We helped clarify the issue, acquire missing information & identify the forms needed to proceed with processing his claim. — PolitiTweet.org

This week, we’re highlighting a #CaseworkSuccessStory that wrapped up after months of hard work & patience by our district staff, and a good amount of paperwork to prove it! This case involved a 96-year-old Army Veteran in University City who applied for his pension in Jan. 2019. — PolitiTweet.org

In fact, a paper by @ljiresearch scientists was given a shout out by Dr. Anthony Fauci during a congressional hearing this morning: "This is work we really need to pursue. We’re just at the cusp of really understanding the importance of this type of response in COVID-19.” https://t.co/beji7vXUdc — PolitiTweet.org

These are only a few of the life science companies and institutes in our region. This sector is as important as ever, as it focuses on treatments and cures to COVID-19 and other life-threatening illnesses. — PolitiTweet.org

I visited @Hologic on the day they were approved for their new COVID-19 test kits in March. Their platform machine is used in many hospitals and labs throughout the country, and their test kit is much faster than others, taking only hours instead of days to deliver results. https://t.co/Zi3nkJjezI — PolitiTweet.org

.@ArcturusRx is working with researchers in Singapore & Duke-NUS Medical School on a vaccine using a self-replicating RNA platform. I visited Arcturus in March to learn about their plans to test the vaccine, which recently went to phase 1/2 clinical trial. https://t.co/HnIrovNKsa https://t.co/Wj2qcDrWfw — PolitiTweet.org

.@ljiresearch is at the center of a global collaboration to understand & advance antibody treatments against COVID-19. Led by @EOSaphire, they've been tracking mutations to help develop vaccines & therapies. She joined us for a virtual town hall in March: https://t.co/goB8Opdqi2 — PolitiTweet.org

Since the start of the #COVID19 crisis, biotech companies and research institutes in SD have been working nonstop to help. I met with @InovioPharma's Dr. Kim at their San Diego lab in Oct. 2016. When cases came to the US, INOVIO was one of the first to develop a trial vaccine. https://t.co/0pjSunDPRP — PolitiTweet.org

San Diego is an international hub for innovation, with an economy driven largely by the cutting-edge life science research being done in the region. https://t.co/2LW7VjPj0o — PolitiTweet.org

As I said during the discussion, the federal deficit "is an intergenerational problem. It's on us to fix this before we go, so our kids don't have to suffer. We should not leave them a country that's in worse shape than how we got it." 🔊 Listen here 🔊 https://t.co/sSFB8M3lGy — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepDavids and I joined @ppi this week to record a podcast conversation about rebuilding America's fiscal strength during & post-COVID. We touched on budget priorities, the value of automatic stabilizers to keep relief rolling, and how we can return with a resilient recovery. https://t.co/YBD4ub8PNg — PolitiTweet.org

#OTD 55 years ago, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law, helping seniors and low-income families access health care. It's more important now than ever before that San Diegans have health care security, and I will always fight to protect and defend these programs. https://t.co/GzrtkLbUQd — PolitiTweet.org

And just so it's clear, unlike the President's accusations yesterday, no one is setting out to "abolish" suburbs or "destroy" neighborhoods. We must work to ensure that every American can go to sleep at night with a roof over their head. That shouldn't be too much to ask. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters

That is why I cosponsored @RepDennyHeck's bill to provide $100 billion in rental assistance. It is critical we provide support for the thousands of renters across the country who are financially strapped due to the COVID-19 crisis. https://t.co/Ef1sCNaUQD — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters

Today, I joined the @NewDemCoalition's call to hear from @upforgrowth and @nlihc on the importance of rental assistance to keep families housed and stabilize the housing ecosystem, particularly now that a global pandemic has hurled our economy into a recession. — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 has put unprecedented stress on nurses, doctors & other medical professionals. This has not compromised the quality care at @UCSDHealth, which now ranks as one of the top hospitals in CA & 🇺🇸. San Diego is fortunate to have the dedicated healthcare professionals at UCSD. — PolitiTweet.org

I joined my @EnergyCommerce colleagues for a hearing on reforming our nation’s drinking water standards. We must follow the science and update our requirements to provide Americans with safe drinking water that doesn't threaten their health or wellbeing. https://t.co/CssqmKDh7k — PolitiTweet.org

The #VeteransEntrepreneurshipAct became law 5 years ago, and waived an SBA loan upfront fee for veterans and their spouses. This law uplifts our veterans and allows them to pursue their aspirations. — PolitiTweet.org

In order to face the challenges posed by racial disparities, we must fully understand them. I'm pleased that the House passed the Commission on the Social Status of Black Men & Boys Act to study how inequality impacts Black males in areas including education, health care & crime. https://t.co/3ZpwdP1hhE — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters

I joined @RepBradWenstrup to introduce bipartisan legislation to boost public awareness of the life-saving contribution of plasma donations in the fight against #COVID19. We thank @SenAmyKlobuchar & @SenatorWicker for leading this effort in the Senate. https://t.co/G2Mfmu1xAl — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters

Senate leadership has yet to bring up this crucial legislation for a vote, which the House passed over 2 months ago. This bill provides a critical lifeline for millions of Americans. Let’s get this done. The American people are counting on us to help them get through this crisis. https://t.co/KipF940jF9 — PolitiTweet.org
