Amidst hyper partisan gridlock on Capitol Hill, perpetuated by Democrats who refuse to pass the bipartisan CARES Act, Sen. Susan Collins’ (R-ME) re-election campaign released an ad thanking the brave Americans on the frontlines during COVID-19.
These are troubling times for Maine and our country, but everywhere you look, there are heroes serving on the frontlines of the fight against coronavirus. Please share this video as a way of saying 'Thank you' to those who bravely go to work every day. #mepolitics pic.twitter.com/v1QAr3Bqrh

We are in the midst of a crisis in our country caused by the coronavirus. When it comes to Americans’ health and saving Americans’ jobs and our small businesses, we don't have another day. We don't have another hour. We don't have another minute to delay acting. pic.twitter.com/xbeagCoLvQ

While Senate Democrats continue to prioritize partisan politics over the best interests and safety of the American people, GOP Senators continue to lead, and work to deliver relief to suffering Americans.
