The people in my district continue to struggle with the economic effects of COVID-19. My constituents and small business owners will be so relieved to know that help that they need is one step closer to being here, including more assistance to small businesses, funding for childcare and education, enhanced unemployment benefits, and rental assistance. Several of my bills to help children and families have been included in this package as well, including increasing funding for child abuse prevention and more help fighting hunger and boosting access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Finally, as a doctor, I am very happy that my legislation to improve education about vaccines, including a future or many future COVID-19 vaccines, is in this package. It is important that the American people feel confident that whatever vaccine does get approval, it is truly safe and effective, and that education begins now. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
