Hi, Congressman Kurt Schrader
here. As Oregon's families and

2
00:00:04,220 --> 00:00:07,160
small businesses begin another
month of living with the Covid-19 threat,

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,200
I understand
the feelings of uncertainty

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,860
that it brings. However, the
good news is your efforts to

5
00:00:13,860 --> 00:00:16,220
reduce the severity of the
outbreak here in Oregon are

6
00:00:16,220 --> 00:00:19,700
really working. I want to take
a moment to share my immense

7
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:23,140
gratitude for Oregon's essential
workers during this time.

8
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:27,140
Our doctors, nurses, grocery store
workers stocking shelves,

9
00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:30,600
truckers, grid operators,
tradesmen and our brave first

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,240
responders who are working
tirelessly to Oregonians

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,240
healthy and safe. We're
grateful, we're thankful, we

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,700
stand with you. Everyday
Oregonians are the heroes of

13
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:45,120
the story so far. Our frontline
heroes, families and small

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,460
businesses who continue to
diligently follow Oregon's

15
00:00:48,460 --> 00:00:51,420
guidelines to flatten that
curve, but without shutting

16
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:55,400
down our economy altogether. In
these uncertain times, I know

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,600
one thing for sure, it's because
of you that will get through

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,260
this together, come back
stronger, healthier and more

19
00:01:02,260 --> 00:01:05,360
united as a state.
