To those celebrating, I wish you all a very merry and safe Christmas! Sending best wishes to you and your loved ones today, and hoping that that, despite how different this holiday may look, we can help to renew our sense of hope in the world in the days and weeks to come. https://t.co/dzQKiISwH8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In the meantime, we all need to do our part to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our communities this Christmas season. Let’s heed the advice of the experts and wear masks, social distance, and stay home when possible so that we can all celebrate together for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

But there is still far more to do to end this pandemic, rebuild our economy even stronger than before and make sure that Americans are able to seize the opportunities of tomorrow. I look forward to working closely with @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris to do just that in the New Year. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The recent news regarding the multiple safe and effective vaccines is certainly worth celebrating. I’m also glad that Congress was finally able to pass a relief bill that will help Americans and small businesses across this country, and I hope the President signs it quickly. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It goes without saying that 2020 has been a hard year for every American. We have all sacrificed as our country has grappled with the coronavirus pandemic. And the fact that this holiday season also looks very different for all of us this year is understandably difficult. — PolitiTweet.org

Our frontline health care workers have sacrificed so much this year. Tomorrow, join me in saying thank you for all of their life-saving care so that we might enjoy the blessings of life. https://t.co/eRz5gaTAW3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I am so proud to represent the First State. Even through tough times, Delawareans are finding unique ways to be there for one another, especially during the holidays. Let this serve as a reminder that, together, we will get through this. https://t.co/daLRcTocDD — PolitiTweet.org

Mientras tanto, todos debemos seguir los consejos de los expertos para reducir la propagación de este virus. Eso significa continuar con las medidas que funcionan, como usar una mascarilla, mantener el distanciamiento social y limitar las interacciones. Juntos superaremos esto. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Estoy decidido a dar un buen ejemplo. La vacuna que recibí hoy ha sido probada y se ha demostrado que es segura y efectiva. Con cada vacuna, estamos un paso más cerca de vencer el COVID-19, es por eso que animo a todos a que se informen y se vacunen cuando esté disponible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Siguiendo el consejo del médico del Capitolio, he recibido una primera dosis de la vacuna contra el coronavirus. Sé que hay muchas personas que están esperando vacunarse. No soy más importante que ninguno de ellos, pero creo que los líderes deben liderar con el ejemplo. https://t.co/AMPviodGLZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Phasing down HFCs is one of the most consequential climate actions ever taken by Congress. Thank you for your partnership to make progress possible, Mr. Chairman. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

They keep our communities safe and our economy moving. I thank Chairman @SenJohnBarrasso for his partnership over the years to improve America’s water infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

From expanding port operations to rebuilding our shorelines threatened by rising sea levels, these new water infrastructure projects will have real economic and environmental benefits for the communities in which they’re built. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The Water Resources Development Act of 2020 will pave the way for $10 billion in new federal investments to enhance, expand, and build new water infrastructure projects across the country. These are little-known projects with big impacts. #WRDA2020 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Let's be clear, this relief bill is not perfect, and we know that there’s more work left to be done. We need to build back our economy stronger than before for all Americans, and I look forward to working with the Biden-Harris Administration to make that happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Included in the latest relief bill: ✅an additional $300 per week in UI benefits ✅$13B in increased SNAP benefits & child nutrition benefits to tackle hungry ✅ $7B invested to expand broadband access ✅ $284B in PPP loans for small businesses ✅ $82B for colleges & schools — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today, too many individuals, families and small businesses are hurting through no fault of their own. They needed assistance months ago, and even more so now as benefits expire. I’m glad that Congress finally came together to pass critical, but long overdue relief for Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This is a watershed moment in our nation’s battle against the climate crisis. We can enact climate policies that improve our lives without complicating them. In fact, that's exactly what we're going to do as we make the transition to a clean economy. https://t.co/88W24p9r4u — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I'm proud to also support other tax provisions in the bipartisan funding bill, including a permanent reduction in craft beverage excise taxes for distillers and brewers in our communities, which will help these small businesses grow and create new jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

By extending and creating these clean energy investment tax credits, we are walking the walk – protecting our environment while also growing our economy, saving manufacturers money, and helping to save and create good-paying Americans jobs in the process. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This bipartisan spending deal also includes an amended version of my bill with @SenatorCardin, the Waste Heat to Power Investment Tax Credit Act, which creates a new tax credit to support investments in technology that reduces harmful emissions and conserves energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

By investing in this new technology and harnessing the power of offshore wind energy, we can 🦺 create good-paying jobs ♻️ reduce our reliance on dirtier sources of energy 💡 provide reduced energy costs to consumers — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today's bipartisan funding bill includes many of these tax extenders — including one that @SenatorCollins and I have been working on for more than a decade which will provide long-term tax certainty for the offshore wind industry. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The phrase ‘tax extenders’ gets thrown around a lot in Washington, D.C. It sounds pretty wonky but they are really important.   They often help small businesses across the country do the work that is critical for our communities, our fellow Americans and our planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This pandemic has changed the way millions use our infrastructure—and how we pay for it. While this package alone doesn’t make nearly enough investments, it will provide critical support to state and local highway, transit, and rail agencies. https://t.co/vDK8wmNIuq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Delaware small businesses, the backbone of our local economy, have been hit hard by this unprecedented pandemic. That’s why it’s critical to ensure that as we give assistance with one hand, we don’t also take away ordinary business expense deductions with the other. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I'm proud to announce that my bipartisan bill with @JohnCornyn, @ChuckGrassley, @RonWyden, and @marcorubio to protect small businesses from receiving an unexpected tax bill as they receive much-needed federal relief, has been included in the spending bill! https://t.co/o4YhWIRf7j — PolitiTweet.org
