I'm proud to be supporting the Heroes Act. This bill will provide $1 trillion to state and local governments on the frontlines of this pandemic to retain essential workers on payroll. It will give much needed relief to renters and homeowners at risk of losing their homes. It will finally give direct payments to all taxpayers, including workers with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers and eligible individuals from mixed-status families. It will help families continue putting food on the table. And I am particularly proud that it includes my bill, which would set aside 10 percent of Paycheck Protection Program funds for minority and community lenders that lend to the smallest businesses. The American people need help now. We cannot wait to act. I urge all my colleagues to vote for this bill, which will help local and state governments, essential workers, families, and small businesses across America.
