Rep. Joe Neguse announced Thursday that Eagle County will receive $22,272 in federal COVID-19 relief funds for Head Start child care facilities across the county.
Neguse, who represents the portion of Eagle County in the Second Congressional District, in 2020 introduced the Jump Start for Head Start Act, calling for emergency COVID-19 relief funds for Head Start facilities to support Eagle County kids and families.
“Affordable quality child care is critical to supporting essential workers today and the ability of many parents to return to work in the future,” Neguse said. “While many child care centers and Head Start programs have remained open throughout the pandemic, they lack the resources necessary to provide adequate protection and cleaning. These federal funds will support our kids and parents and help keep our child care workers safe.”

ONTARIO, Ore. Congressman Cliff Bentz on Monday called for Governor Kate Brown to loosen coronavirus restrictions that were raised in 15 Oregon counties at the end of last week. Bentz represents the Second Congressional District the state s largest district by landmass, covering most of southern, eastern, and central Oregon.
As a delegate to Congress, Rep. Bentz said that he would not normally weigh in on state politics, but he called the most recent restrictions historically broad in impact and cited an invitation for input from the Oregon Health Authority.
A lack of health care hits residents especially hard in Maine, with the oldest population in the country, and so the Democratic challenger in the state’s Second Congressional District is focused on saddling the incumbent with his vote to kill “Obamacare,” following a playbook unfolding across the country.
