Political Quotes

“Last year, the CARES Act delivered relief checks to millions, but families were disappointed to learn that their dependent adult children weren't eligible to receive support, including the Harris family in Eagan, Minnesota. Debbie and Victor Harris are proud parents to their wonderful son, Josh, who has complex medical needs. Expenses are constant for the Harris family. Home-care nurses and their two grown sons provide 24- hour care for Josh. Despite that, as an adult-disabled dependent, Josh didn't qualify for relief. It was because of stories like these that I introduced the All Dependent Children Count Act and pushed to ensure that Josh and millions of other dependent adult children could receive the relief they deserve. I am so proud we were finally able to get this in the American Rescue Plan and give families like the Harrises an additional $1,400, allowing them the freedom and support to enjoy some well-deserved time in Minnesota's great outdoors. ____________________”
