To the people of the Kansas Third District,

Your health and safety is my top priority. I know people are struggling now to balance childcare needs and telework, working to make sure elderly parents are properly cared for, or trying to figure out how to keep their small businesses afloat. Meanwhile, medical professionals are working around the clock to keep people healthy. 

That's why we've put together this Coronavirus Resource Center, which we’re updating regularly. Please use the below menu to quickly find information that may be helpful for you and your family, and join our email updates for updates and more resources on COVID-19 as they become available.

By working together, we will overcome this challenge.

My warmest regards,

Sharice L. Davids
Member of Congress
