Introducing...Listening with Levin!

I'm THRILLED to introduce the launch of my new podcast, Listening with Levin! I launched this podcast to bring everyone in the District in-depth and candid conversations on the latest happenings in Congress and to share important updates for our communities.
You will soon be able to find Listening with Levin on all major streaming platforms, so be sure to listen in and don’t forget to subscribe to never miss an episode!
Finally, I want you to know that my top priority right now is getting more COVID relief to our communities so we can beat this virus and help our economy recover.
This week, I led a letter with my colleagues in the Orange County Congressional delegation calling for local cities to receive direct federal aid in the next pandemic relief package.
City governments provide essential services that are often taken for granted. They pay law enforcement and firefighters who keep us safe, maintenance workers who make sure our water is clean, and frontline workers who are helping distribute vaccines.
Many cities have already cut back on services and laid off public servants, and if we don’t get them federal aid, they could be forced to lay off more essential workers who are helping us get through this pandemic.
At the local level, this isn’t a partisan issue. Mayors from both parties are pleading for this federal assistance, and I’m optimistic we can deliver it as part of the American Rescue Plan.
Remember to follow my Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram pages for the latest updates from my office.
Have a great weekend!
Best,
Rep. Mike Levin
