A Message from Senator Bill Dodd
Dear Neighbor,
Hope your new year is off to a good start. We are all looking toward better days in 2021.
A promising development is the arrival of COVID-19 vaccines in our state. Administering vaccines to everyone is critical to ending the pandemic. Learn more about our rollout guidelines.
At the same time, lawmakers are working with Gov. Gavin Newsom on a much-needed pandemic relief package to support people and businesses struggling through these tough economic times. Highlights are in this newsletter.
We heard a detailed update on the pandemic and schools at my Jan. 12 virtual town hall featuring state Superintendent Tony Thurmond. Watch the video.
Our next virtual town hall – on COVID-19 and housing -- will be Feb. 9. Look for more details to come.
