Pleased to join @realDonaldTrump and his bipartisan task force for re-opening the economy. With more than 22 million jobless claims filed in the last month, we must take steps now to help people safely return to work as we continue to #CombatCOVID19. https://t.co/AnAdToUBhm

Loeffler also expressed gratitude about being added to the task force.

“Thank you, [Donald Trump] for appointing me to your taskforce on re-opening America safely in the wake of [COVID 19]. With 22 million Americans filing for unemployment, it’s clear we must start working to revive our economy and get the American people back to work safely.”

The full list of participants that will be a part of the task force to advise on the reopening is expected to be released by the White House.

Thank you, @realDonaldTrump for appointing me to your task force on re-opening America safely in the wake of #COVID19.

With 22 million Americans filing for unemployment, it’s clear we must start working to revive our economy and get the American people back to work safely.

— Senator Kelly Loeffler (@SenatorLoeffler) April 16, 2020

Honored to join @realDonaldTrump’s task force of elected officials, industry leaders, and economists to develop a plan to smartly and safely re-open our country.

America had the greatest economy in the world before the Coronavirus outbreak. Together, we will build it again. ??

I'm honored @realDonaldTrump has given me the opportunity to serve on the Task Force on Reopening the Economy. Before COVID-19 our economy was as strong as it had ever been. Under @POTUS' leadership, I believe our nation can reclaim that momentum. https://t.co/RgtD5wg49j

I am honored @realDonaldTrump has selected me to serve on his Congressional Economic Task Force. I look forward to working with him to chart a path forward to reopening our country and rebuilding our economy.
