The Empowering Olympic, Paralympic & Amateur Athletes Act would not have been possible without the courageous survivors who spoke out against abuse, shared their stories & input to protect future athletes. Thank you for your bravery and commitment to change. https://t.co/YXEA4Mqc5w — PolitiTweet.org

We could not have passed this bill in the Senate today without the input & guidance of the survivors – athletes who traveled to Washington countless times, shared their stories & demanded change. While powerful institutions failed these survivors in the past, we aren’t going to. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

BREAKING → My bill w/ @SenBlumenthal to #EmpowerAthletes unanimously passed the Senate. Our work began the day after Larry Nassar was sentenced to prison. It hasn't stopped since. While powerful institutions failed these survivors in the past, we weren’t going to. — PolitiTweet.org

Toured @saintlukeskc’s South Rehabilitation Hospital today - the only comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation hospital of its kind in the region. I viewed the advanced therapy options available for Kansans, as well as for veterans due to the MISSION Act's focus on community care. https://t.co/PpdGFRWJSQ — PolitiTweet.org

Learned how COVID-19 is affecting @KSBigs today on a tour & how they are adapting to a world with limited in-person contact. Each year, their 1-on-1 mentoring program provides thousands of young Kansans with a positive role model and a friend for them to lean on and learn from. https://t.co/TrBdYD5lAn — PolitiTweet.org

This morning, I introduced Toby Crouse, a fellow @kulawschool grad, to the @senjudiciary for his nomination to be a judge on the U.S. Federal District Court for the District of KS.

Had the opportunity to introduce Russell native C.J. Mahoney before @SenateForeign this week for his nomination to become Legal Advisor for the @StateDept.

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

Our state is a better place because of his public service, and I am a better person because of his friendship. Robba and I are saddened to hear of his passing and send our heartfelt prayers to his wife Sue and his family. https://t.co/UlmIVTjdnF — PolitiTweet.org

Lastly, I included a provision that directs the @DeptVetAffairs to conduct a study on why post-9/11 female veterans experience higher unemployment than their cohorts. Since 2009, they have experienced an average unemployment rate of 8.4% versus the 5.7% rate of all veterans. — PolitiTweet.org

One vital component the agency depends on is talent. As shown by the panelists, Kansas has a record of fostering that talent through organizations like the Cosmosphere, which has played a critical role in teaching and inspiring our next generation of space explorers. — PolitiTweet.org
