Dear friend,

Yesterday, we welcomed a new administration and light and hope for our future. As President Biden and Vice President Harris step into their new roles, I am reminded of the words of late President George H. W. Bush to incoming President Bill Clinton: Your success now is our country's success.

At a time of great pain and loss, I am confident that this new administration will tackle these challenges with facts, experience, and integrity; build us back better than before; and renew the American dream that so many have been shut out of for decades.

The Biden administration has already outlined a clear and comprehensive plan to address the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis. The American Rescue Plan sets forth a national vaccination program, delivers relief to families and our economy, and supports our local essential workers through policies I’ve been calling for throughout the pandemic:

• To address the alarming rise in childhood poverty and support families, the Biden-Harris administration adopted a policy I’ve championed to provide families with up to $3,000 per child and $3,600 for children under 6 through an expansion of the Child Tax Credit. This expansion would also make the credit fully refundable so families who previously earned too little to receive the credit will now have access to the full benefit.
  
  
• The Biden-Harris administration is also prioritizing resources for local, state, and tribal governments so they can continue responding to the public health crisis, ramp up vaccinations, and pay essential workers like first responders, teachers, and public health workers.

As the Chair of the New Democrat Coalition, I am ready to partner with this administration to move our country forward. It’s time to get to work.

As always, I am here to help you. If you need assistance at this difficult time, please do not hesitate to contact my Kirkland office at (425) 485-0085. For more updates on what I’m doing for WA-01, you can follow me on social media at the links above.

Stay safe and stay healthy,

Suzan
