“I am proud to have introduced four of the amendments in this en bloc. My first amendment would allow the Federal Government to start researching new economic metrics that would take into account the well- being of American families in a way that our current GDP measure does not. The second amendment addresses challenges posed by COVID to remittances and how the Federal Government could better facilitate these lifelines for fragile countries. My T-HUD amendment makes sure the Federal Government is helping manufactured housing communities cope with the pandemic. And, lastly, my Interior amendment ensures that the NEA prioritizes grants for projects that preserve civil rights art, such as the projects within the George Floyd Memorial site in Minneapolis. Thank you to the Appropriations Committee for including these amendments that will help my district and many more.”
