Ohio has hit the tragic milestone of 1,000 deaths due to COVID-19. Jane and I are lifting all those who have lost loved ones up in prayer, including the family and friends of a former member of my team, model public servant, and a wonderful guy, Wes Fahrbach. — PolitiTweet.org

The Small Business Administration should not penalize individuals who have been given a second chance and turned their lives around and started small businesses.https://t.co/h26ay5hZMf — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased to see that LTGEN Keith Dayton has been nominated to serve as the next US Ambassador to #Ukraine. He is a true patriot and dedicated friend of Ukraine. I look forward to supporting his confirmation. — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to have law enforcement officials, reentry+second chance coalition leaders & local officials in Ohio & around the country voice their support for my initiative to help small biz owners w/ criminal records during the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

By helping inmates get back on their feet and prepare for life after prison, the @hamiltoncntyoh @hcreentry is helping folks reach their God-given potential. Proud of what they have been able to achieve so far. Keep up the great work! #reentryweek2020 https://t.co/riXIuBpbsE — PolitiTweet.org

What an impressive young man. Great job Connor! I'm constantly amazed by the way folks have stepped up to lend a helping hand in response to this crisis. https://t.co/FEflvFv3t7 — PolitiTweet.org

The SBA should not deny crucial aid to small business owners with past criminal records. These individuals have turned their lives around, started a small businesses, created jobs & contribute to their communities. https://t.co/h26ay5hZMf — PolitiTweet.org

3. During a pandemic like this where it’s unsafe for Congress convene, the Senate can put in place a system to meet and vote remotely. Our PSI virtual roundtable today showed that it can be done effectively and efficiently. — PolitiTweet.org

2. Our founders designed a federalist system in which the states serve laboratories of democracy. So let's look at the states. 14 have already moved forward w/ remote proceedings in times of crisis. The federal gov't should follow their lead. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

A few takeaways from the virtual roundtable: 1. The panel of experts agreed that the Senate should allow remote proceedings during this crisis. Marty Gold—a renowned authority on Senate Procedure—stated: "Congress may alter longstanding procedures to meet changing conditions" — PolitiTweet.org

This morning @SenatorCarper & I led the Senate’s first virtual roundtable. We examined remote voting & the continuity of Senate operations during a crisis in which members cannot safely convene. It was a successful test run for future virtual hearings. https://t.co/7zwP3uosM4 — PolitiTweet.org

As we continue to fight the #coronavirus pandemic, we can’t lose sight of another health crisis that has hit Ohio hard: the addiction epidemic. We must keep our eye on the ball & ensure we don’t lose ground in the fight against addiction. https://t.co/JR1yYrN1sG — PolitiTweet.org

The shortage of COVID-19 tests at FCI Elkton threatens the lives of the inmates as well as folks throughout the greater northeast Ohio region. I’ve urged AG Barr and the BOP to address this quickly. https://t.co/neYQWmfk9v — PolitiTweet.org
