On the recordMarch 27, 2020
Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the CARES Act. COVID-19, otherwise known as the coronavirus, has seriously impacted our country, both medically and economically. During this unprecedented time, it is imperative that we not only take proper precautions, but react in an effective manner. This bill is not perfect. It has a very large price tag. However, a crisis of this magnitude requires Congress to act swiftly and decisively. This bill represents a bipartisan compromise that can make this happen. We have single household incomes, seniors on fixed incomes, and small business owners who need relief right now. My constituency is still rebuilding after Hurricane Michael, and I intend to do whatever it takes to get them the help they need right away. This is an excellent opportunity for us all to come together and support our constituents. Please join me in supporting this stimulus package.
