To students: stay motivated and lean on your teachers, friends, & families for support if you’re having a tough time. There’s nothing more important than you continuing to learn and grow. Life is constantly throwing us curveballs, and it’s how we respond that makes us who we are. — PolitiTweet.org

Before I was a senator, I was Superintendent of Denver Public Schools. So I’ve been in your shoes—ready to start the First Day of School, nervous about everything going smoothly & excited for the learning that awaits. But this year, we never could have anticipated #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

To students, teachers, school leaders & parents: As you head #BackToSchool amidst #COVID19—whether in person, online, or with a hybrid model—know that your entire community stands behind you. Wear your mask. Keep your distance. And most important, never stop learning. https://t.co/XfArxSYd0E — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @WhiteRiverNews & local leaders for showing me the El Jebel Flexible Partnership site—which they’re planning to use for affordable housing & recreation while protecting critical habitat. This is why I wrote & passed the Forest Service Flexible Partnerships Act into law. https://t.co/8IkhULMztb — PolitiTweet.org

All levels of our armed forces must reflect our nation’s diversity and democratic values. We're urging the Senate and House Armed Services Committees to preserve military diversity and inclusion provisions the final FY 2021 NDAA → https://t.co/fFnSnyA4UB — PolitiTweet.org

We must do more to support local businesses, especially those hit hardest by the pandemic in the restaurant, service & hospitality industries. That’s why I’m fighting to pass the #RESTARTAct to provide relief into 2021. Thanks to @AspenInstitute for facilitating the discussion. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Small business leaders in the Roaring Fork Valley, like @MusicAtHeathers owners Rene & Heather Lujan and Sopris Liquor & Wine owner Kiko Peña, shared their greatest concerns in the face of #COVID19—especially as we approach the unpredictable winter months. https://t.co/hQlAgQAiE7 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Like many communities, Pitkin County was hit hard by #COVID19. The local leaders I met today at @ACESaspen have responded in stride, working together to prepare for kids safely returning to classrooms, the winter outdoor recreation season, and ultimately a vaccine strategy. https://t.co/xc1xsckDfv — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

It's inspiring to see Coloradans step up in record numbers to help their communities conduct fair & safe elections. The public health crisis is creating unprecedented challenges—especially for traditionally older volunteers—& we must rise to the occasion to safeguard democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Last night, over a thousand buildings lit up red in support of the #RESTARTAct, my bipartisan bill to support small businesses hurt by #COVID19. From the @space_needle to @TheGarden to @WNCathedral—support for RESTART is spreading across the country! #RedAlertRESTART https://t.co/9jywxFZEZP — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Thanks to the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District for a great meeting on the Arkansas Valley Conduit. We've been working on this project for over a decade, and I'll keep fighting to ensure the Lower Arkansas Valley has clean drinking water. https://t.co/gmXO9xEfHn — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

This is great news for Coloradans. No one should have to choose between their health & their right to vote. Colorado is setting the standard to hold a safe and fair election this November. Let's make sure all Americans across the country have this same opportunity. #VoteByMail — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

To set up the next generation for success, we need to make real investments in our economy, climate & infrastructure. That's what Denver Rustlers is all about. It was great to meet one of these young leaders, Mike, who recently started his own burrito business! https://t.co/u6NXmEQw9c — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

As wildfires threaten our communities, #COVID19 continues to undermine state & local budgets. In addition to funding, I‘ve encouraged @USDA to provide the flexibility local project sponsors need. Read the letter @SenCoryGardner @RepJoeNeguse @RepTipton & I sent to @BillAtUSDA⬇️ https://t.co/uwgnfzOzQl — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

In the midst of devastating #wildfires—especially as Pine Gulch just became the largest fire in Colorado's history—we need federal funding immediately. I'm calling on @USDA to quickly approve Emergency Watershed Protection funds to help protect property & infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

College students, this one's for you: Let's make sure Colorado has the highest voter turnout in the country by participating in the @allintovote Campus Democracy Challenge. We all have a responsibility to exercise our right to vote & shape the future of democracy. Learn more ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

It's the first of the month, and families across Colorado are wondering how they'll pay rent. It's far past time we passed emergency rental assistance to prevent evictions & support our communities. I'm calling on Senate leadership to make this a priority—now. https://t.co/IU39YTmSrC — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

National Poll Worker Recruitment Day is a great opportunity to sign up to work the polls & #HelpAmericaVote. We're facing an unprecedented challenge this election with COVID—so if you're able, grab a friend, get involved & help strengthen our democracy! https://t.co/0dntMLsgRc https://t.co/QRaP7aVffP — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I joined @thelumineers at @BoulderTheater this summer to advocate for the #RESTARTAct, my bill to support the hardest-hit small businesses & music venues through 2021. It's great to see continued support from venues across Colorado for #RedAlertRESTART. https://t.co/fDY8XUu8Y1 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today, 1,500 buildings are lighting up RED as a powerful call to action to pass the #RESTARTAct. Live events venues were some of the first businesses to close, & due to their large gatherings, may be last to reopen. RT to support #RedAlertRESTART & save small businesses. https://t.co/biBvYDVStL — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

If you are in a tough spot today as the bills pile up and you're looking for resources, here's a good place to start: https://t.co/GPO4or2T4n Please know that my office is here as a resource as well. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Fourth, we should establish a national Health Force, my proposal w/@gillibrandny, to create jobs for people looking for work as contact tracers & case managers, so we can tackle the pandemic, create jobs & invest in public health infrastructure so this never happens again. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Third, we should provide funding for state & local governments to maintain essential services. This has strong bipartisan support: @SenCoryGardner, @GovofCO & I called for $500 billion in state funding & other direct local funding. Let's get that done. https://t.co/bSe2bX1wcf — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Second, we must provide direct rental assistance to prevent evictions. I've cosponsored a bill with @SenSherrodBrown to do that. Preventing evictions is much less expensive than dealing with the aftereffects for both families and communities. https://t.co/OCaeRhFnPW — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

First, we should extend the expanded unemployment benefit and keep it in place until the economy recovers, so we don't leave families high and dry and cause even greater long-term damage. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today, the first of the month, families are trying to pay their bills, keep a roof over their head & put food on the table. Millions of people are out of work through no fault of their own, as we continue to face the damage of #COVID19. Here's what we should do about it ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Thanks to Scientific Director @emily_travanty & @CDPHE technicians for working 24/7 to strengthen our state’s #COVID19 response & keep Coloradans safe. I’ll continue to fight for funding to support our public health infrastructure, including our State Laboratory in Denver. https://t.co/uLamPVmbeb — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

President Trump is concerned with those "disturbing the peace," with no appreciation of the injustice they are trying to disturb. Instead of fanning the flames of fear and hate, he should condemn all of the violence and unify our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Actively withholding information puts our democracy at greater risk. Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle should demand the Trump Administration reverse this decision & put the interests of the American people above politics. — PolitiTweet.org
