Amy Kennedy Calls on Jeff Van Drew To Stand Up For
Working Families in NJ2, Not Big Corporations

Brigantine, NJ — On Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced that they would not support another relief bill with additional funding for state and local governments and support for frontline healthcare workers and first responders,  unless it provided liability protections for employers.  This announcement came just days after President Trump issued an Executive Order compelling meat-packing plants to remain open with blatant disregard for the health and safety of American workers.  These actions show a clear pattern of Republicans in Washington, DC prioritizing the needs of corporate America over the needs of America’s working families.

Amy Kennedy, congressional candidate for New Jersey’s second district, released the following statement:

Once again, the Republicans in Congress, with Mitch McConnell leading the charge, have chosen to fight to the death to protect big corporations from getting sued instead of fighting to protect American workers. Jeff Van Drew should stand up to Republican leadership and tell them that the physical safety and economic well-being of people in South Jersey should not be held hostage by big corporations who want to avoid their responsibilities to their employees and customers.
