"We thank the House for boldly taking action to pass the Heroes Act, and we call on Mitch McConnell and the Senate to demonstrate they care about the education of all students."

"That is why the NEA supports the Heroes Act because it includes $902 billion in direct relief for State and local governments and $900 billion in additional revenue for education."

"Mitch McConnell's Senate majority must get the HEROES Act over the legislative finish line with its $3.6 billion for State and local governments."

"Well, as I said, what we've been talking about here in the Senate Republican Conference is what we think is the appropriate response to the events over the last few weeks."
