WASHINGTON – Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Martha McSally as well as Rep. Andy Biggs will serve on the White House task force focused on economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. The bipartisan task force will provide counsel to the administration on the re-opening of American businesses and employers.
“America wants to be open, and Americans want to be open,” President Trump said. “To preserve the health of our citizens, we must also preserve the health and functioning of our economy. Over the long haul, you cannot do one without the other.”
Honored to be named to @POTUS‘s bipartisan task force to plan our country’s path forward. I’ll take AZ concerns & ideas straight to the task force to inform a strong economic recovery that benefits Arizona’s families and businesses while prioritizing the safety of all citizens.

“Under President Trump’s leadership over the past three-plus years, the American economy enjoyed historic success. Millions of jobs were created. The unemployment rate was at a record low. And wages were rising. The Trump administration’s pro-growth policies were paying dividends for millions of American individuals, families, and businesses,” Biggs said in a statement.
“As we pivot from a shutdown of our economy due to the coronavirus outbreak, it’s important to keep the president’s track record of tremendous results in mind as we move to restore the economy to its former brilliance. President Trump believes in the American people to be the masters of their own economic destinies, as do I.” Biggs concluded, “I am grateful to be included on this team, and I look forward to assisting the president with his tireless efforts to make America greater than ever before.”
“I will work with anyone to support Arizona’s state and local leaders, ensure our communities adhere to scientific best practices to address our current health emergency, and provide employers the resources to quickly recover and get Americans back to work once the immediate crisis has passed,” Sinema said in a statement.
“The coronavirus pandemic has given way to unprecedented challenges unlike any we have seen in our nation’s history. Americans have been asked to stay home and not work in order to save lives and that gravely impacted the livelihoods of so many,” McSally said in a statement. “But I am confident America and Arizona will recover from this extraordinary time stronger than ever.”
