Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I recently received a letter from a constituent named Jeffrey. Jeffrey was laid off in March and hasn't been able to find work during the pandemic. He wrote to me and said: ``I have been scraping by on my savings and borrowing, and I am now finally broke with a disabled brother, a 13- year-old kid to feed, and a house.'' Another constituent wrote about his 83-year-old mother, who survives on a small pension and Social Security. The pandemic has required her to have a caregiver for much longer hours. Her and sons' bank accounts are running dry. The American people need relief now, which is why the House passed the updated Heroes Act this week with another round of stimulus checks; extended unemployment benefits; small business support; and money for local, State, and Tribal governments to pay for essential services like first responders, police, firefighters, and teachers. The House is doing their job. The Senate must do theirs and bring this bill for a vote for the people. ____________________”
