APAUT Call to Action
July 29, 2020 by Angela Price
Policy/Legislative
I am reaching out as the Co-Chair of the APA UT Legislative Committee for a call to action to request additional and flexible funding from the next Congressional coronavirus financial relief package. Senator Romney is critical to ensure state and local jurisdictions receive direct financial assistance to address the coronavirus pandemic.
National APA has activated and mobilized local chapters to show solidarity in our request to Congress to ensure our communities get the financial resources needed to respond to urgent local needs.
APA UT sent the attached letter to Senator Romney asking for his continued vocal support for additional funding to help Utah address the coronavirus pandemic. We are asking our membership to contact Senator Romney this week to express your support for direct and flexible fiscal aid for state and local jurisdictions. You can write Senator Romney or contact his Utah office at 801-524-4380.
Thank you so much for taking time to respond to this very important call to action.
Angela Price
APA UT Legislative Committee Co-Chair
