Help is on the way. Following a bipartisan effort Senator @timkaine and I led, $1 billion for the Community Services Block Grant program was included in the latest COVID-19 emergency relief package. https://t.co/mY7l0ttRY2 — PolitiTweet.org

During this pandemic, local agencies in Maine and throughout the country are being stretched thin to help address the needs of millions of low-income individuals and families, including challenges related to employment, nutrition, health, and transportation. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

A bipartisan group of my colleagues & I successfully included $300 million to assist fishermen in the COVID-19 relief package. This funding will help ensure that families & businesses that depend on the industry’s success can emerge from this crisis. https://t.co/CsDKpH44GC — PolitiTweet.org

Countless Mainers are checking (safely) on our seniors and leaving them prepared meals like Fort Kent restaurant owners Carroll Ann and Gaetan Oaks. In a crisis, Mainers always pull together and figure out ingenious ways to help. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Maine’s university & community college systems donated supplies to fire departments & hospitals, produced hand sanitizer, & will use 3D printing to make face shields. The leader of @IDEXX in Westbrook assured us that our pets are not at risk based on the lab’s extensive testing. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Workers at Puritan Medical Products in Guilford are working overtime to produce swabs needed for testing. Abbott, which has a plant in Scarborough, is working on a super fast test for the virus. @jacksonlab in Bar Harbor is producing mice for testing vaccines. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Ingenuity & caring describe the reactions of Maine people & businesses to COVID-19. The leaders of @LLBean & @NewBalance are revamping factories to manufacture masks to protect health care workers. LL Bean has also partnered with Good Shepherd Food Bank to deliver food packages. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Across the country, Americans are stepping up in response to COVID-19. Congress is doing its part too, passing a $2 trillion package that will help provide relief. Read my column in today’s Maine Sunday Telegram for more information about this new law: https://t.co/Ekh6W34IAI — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

To help protect & support Maine employers like @LLBean, @husseyseating, and Rogers Collection, I wrote to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin today, calling on him to temporarily defer tariffs for U.S. companies that are experiencing economic hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/ECKppOruaM — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

I am saddened by the passing of my friend and former colleague, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. Tom was a man of deep faith and strong convictions who cared deeply for his family and our country. May God bless his wife Carolyn and daughters during this difficult time and always. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

I joined @SenAngusKing, @chelliepingree, and @RepGolden in calling on the Navy to issue guidelines for protecting our most vulnerable workers at private shipyards like Bath Iron Works, just as the Navy did at our public shipyards. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Our shipyard workers are essential to our national security. The Navy should be taking aggressive actions to help protect their health during the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/ws0Goi0vy2 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Great work, Abbott! This is a significant breakthrough in the fight against COVID-19. When I toured your Scarborough facility in 2018, I was so impressed by your dedicated employees who were making the next generation of diagnostics. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

The $2 trillion COVID-19 emergency relief package was just signed into law. It passed the Senate 96-0 Wednesday & the House passed it by voice vote today. Bipartisan relief is on the way to support Americans in need, strengthen our health care, & assist workers & small businesses https://t.co/MZi92WLtV6 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

I extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends of the Mainer who passed away from COVID-19. A difficult road lies ahead for our state. We are resilient, and we will get through this crisis together. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Maine’s Area Agencies on Aging have been doing incredible work meeting the nutritional needs of seniors. As older adults self-isolate due to COVID-19, home-delivered meals are more important than ever. This $1.2 million grant will support their efforts. https://t.co/m0EqJ6v58i — PolitiTweet.org

If you are contacted by a scammer, please report it to the @SenateAging Committee's Fraud Hotline at 1-855-303-9470. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

SCAM ALERT: Con artists are targeting seniors through marketing schemes that claim to provide test kits for COVID-19. These criminals are using phone calls, social media, email, & door-to-door visits to try to obtain personal information from victims. https://t.co/QTPRe3XNVT — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

From Fort Kent to Kittery, Mainers are stepping up to help neighbors in need. Thank you to Carroll Ann and Gaetan Oakes, owners of Whistle Stop restaurant, for making and delivering free meals to seniors and those with disabilities in your community. https://t.co/xq0yfEkRcM — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Tonight, the Senate came together to pass a $2 trillion emergency relief package that will reinforce our health care system, shore up our economy and businesses, support those who are unemployed, and help prevent millions of Americans from losing their jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Following unanimous passage, a bill I authored to renew & improve the Older Americans Act has become law. As we work to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, this law will support community-based & nutrition services for older Americans & their caregivers. https://t.co/WosoXi1Sww — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Relief is on the horizon for American workers & small businesses. @marcorubio, @SenatorCardin, @SenatorShaheen, & I worked on the bipartisan $377 billion small business economic relief plan, which was included in the Phase 3 emergency relief package. https://t.co/9aXZ1jQFMN — PolitiTweet.org
