At about 2 a.m. this morning, the House passed the American Rescue Plan with my support. This comprehensive aid bill will save lives, expand and accelerate the vaccination program, put money directly in people’s pockets, extend federal unemployment benefits, provide emergency rental assistance and help reopen our schools.
Our communities have been suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic for too long. This expanded relief for families and small businesses is a significant step toward getting us beyond this crisis.
As President Biden has said, help is on the way. Our number one priority is delivering for the American people.
Next week, we will pass even more legislation in the House that moves our country forward. Democrats are working for the people.
Thanks for your support,
Jim
