U.S. Senator Jerry Moran joined his colleagues in sending a letter to President Trump urging a strong, coordinated federal effort to support our first responders by addressing the national shortage of personal protective equipment. A shortage could lead to first responders unnecessarily being exposed to covid-19 and could hamper the ability of emergency personnel to serve on the front lines during this public health crisis.
Senator Moran says first responders are among our nation’s most indispensable and dedicated public servants. And, he knows the covid-19 pandemic will not prevent from performing their public safety duties. And we must uphold our end of the bargain to protect them and their families. He says without aggressive federal action, we risk leaving first responders across the country without the tools and equipment they need to keep both themselves and our communities safe during this crisis.
