- Co-sponsored a small business bill, H.R. 6897, that expands Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan eligibility to newspaper publishers, radio stations, and television broadcasters.
- Tom hosted his weekly virtual town hall “Tuesdays with Tom”, which featured the Dine’ Chamber of Commerce where he learned more about some of the critical issues facing small businesses in rural and tribal Arizona.
- Pushed back against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield’s recently issued guidelines that suggested not all persons exposed to the coronavirus need to be tested.
- Tom kicked off the Blue Dog Coalition’s “Rural Opportunity Roundtable Series” with local and tribal leaders across the district to discuss the effects of COVID-19 on rural and tribal communities.
- Tom hosted a virtual listening session with teachers, principals, and staff from the Casa Grande Union High School and Elementary School Districts to discuss how educators have prepared for remote learning and hybrid approaches for the school year, as well as the challenges they have faced adjusting to these new learning environments.
