Our top priority has to be beating this virus and getting our economy back up and running again. We need to get our children back in schools, their parents back to work and our economy thriving again. And to do that, we have to invest in a solid testing system and an infrastructure to quickly distribute a vaccine as soon as it becomes available. We also must focus on rebuilding our economy from the middle out. We need strong apprenticeship programs, support for small businesses, job retraining opportunities and a focus on bringing jobs back to the United States and the greater Lehigh Valley.
