Attention Delawareans: In order to protect public health and keep our communities safe, we must all do our parts and stay home. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Last night, the Senate passed the largest bipartisan stimulus package in our nation’s history as we work to fight #COVID19. The #CARESAct provides relief for medical professionals, workers, and small businesses. Read about the bill and what I fought for: https://t.co/IaeZBXxnu8 — PolitiTweet.org

This thread about Delawareans helping each other in the midst of this public health crisis will certainly brighten your day ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The #COVID19 public health crisis we are ALL fighting right now puts on full display why #DCstatehood is long overdue. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I’ve been calling for #DCstatehood for a long time alongside my partner in the House @EleanorNorton. And I’ve introduced a bill in the Senate — which now has historic support — that would finally right this wrong and give DC taxpayers equal representation in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

To me, this issue is a matter of fairness. Think about this: the families who live in DC pay taxes just like you and me. Yet their communities will receive far less money from the government during this crisis. In fact, a lot of their taxpayer dollars will go to other states. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Just like states across the country, the District of Columbia needs resources and funding from the federal government to effectively mitigate the spread of #COVID19 and protect its taxpaying residents. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Even though the District of Columbia has more taxpayers than both Wyoming and Vermont, it will not receive the same funding that all states will get from the #COVID19 relief package simply because the city does not have #statehood status. That is wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Winston Churchill once said, “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” Tonight’s #COVID19 bill is a good step, but we have more work to do to ensure we are helping Americans who need it most. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I want to thank @ChuckSchumer, @SenateDems, and my Republican colleagues for working together to come up with a #COVID19 relief package that provides relief for our communities and puts American workers first. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Americans are looking for their government to lead during this crisis. I hope that's what we will continue to do here in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

.@SenateDems fought hard to ensure the new #COVID19 relief package included accountability, transparency, and oversight measures to safeguard taxpayers. For corporations, that means no executive pay bumps or stock buybacks that could further hurt our workers and families. https://t.co/kNHDzoOgFp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

As a Vietnam veteran and retired @Navy captain, I know how important it is to ensure our veterans and their families are cared for during this crisis. I’m proud that the #COVID19 relief package includes nearly $16 billion to help our veterans get access to care they may need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Food banks like @FoodBankofDE are working to ensure our communities are fed during this crisis. I’m proud that the #COVID19 relief package includes funding for The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) that will help food banks continue to carry out their critical missions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Too many families right now are worried about where their child’s next meal is going to come from. That’s why the new #COVID19 relief package includes $15 billion for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to ensure families can put food on the table. https://t.co/18hX0Bk31I — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

So many families find themselves in dire straits through no fault of their own. That’s why the new #COVID19 relief package expands unemployment insurance for workers and provides $1,200 cash payment to every adult making less than $75,000 and an additional $500 per child. https://t.co/ZQsYlid62s — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In Delaware, our small businesses are the backbone of our economy and, right now, they are hurting. That’s why the new #COVID19 relief package provides funding for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) that will help businesses pay their bills and their employees. https://t.co/djfeuZddAq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Our early education programs and K-12 schools continue to provide services for our students during this crisis. That’s why the new #COVID19 relief package provides funding to ensure these critical services can continue. https://t.co/bwaK2ECEbP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Universities like @UDelaware, @DelStateUniv and colleges in Delaware provide critical educational and research services to our students during this crisis. That’s why the new #COVID19 relief package provides funding to support our nation’s higher education institutions. https://t.co/NVTaOtEUIF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Our hospitals in Delaware do not have enough masks, gloves, gowns or ventilators. That's why the new #COVID19 relief package provides funding for the Defense Production Act to address shortages like this so that states across the country can effectively respond to #COVID19. https://t.co/5q7zLDkdBh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We must protect our health workers in order to mitigate the spread of #COVID19 and protect public health. That's why the new #COVID19 relief package provides those on the frontlines in Delaware and across the country with personal protective equipment that is in short supply. https://t.co/pVDOF5x7UA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Wins for Delaware include additional #PPE for health workers and funding for the Defense Production Act to address medical supply shortages and support for food programs like #SNAP, our universities and colleges, unemployment insurance for many hardworking families, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I am proud to report that the new #COVID19 relief package includes things I fought for with @ChrisCoons and @RepLBR that will ensure Delaware has the resources it needs to stop the spread of the virus, protect public health, and support our small businesses that are hurting. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Thanks to good-faith, bipartisan work over the past few days, the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act now includes more relief for the workers and families in Delaware and across the country who need it most. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

THREAD: Tonight's #COVID19 relief package is a much-improved version of the partisan bill we saw earlier this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Thank you for your work to ensure those on the frontlines of this public health crisis have the personal protective equipment they need in this fight. — PolitiTweet.org
