Bipartisan COVID-19 Relief Package
Today’s legislation included $900 billion in emergency coronavirus relief to protect the lives and livelihoods of the American people.
“Over the last nine months, I have spoken with folks across our region who have lost jobs, lost their small businesses, and lost loved ones due to the COVID-19 pandemic. People in our region need help. With that in mind, this new bipartisan COVID-19 relief bill is progress,”
said Rep. Kilmer. “This bill will help make a down payment on giving our communities resources they need to help beat back this virus and distribute vaccines, and provide vital support to families and local employers. Having said that, we know more is needed to help people who are hurting. People shouldn’t have to risk losing their homes, going hungry, or having their utilities shut off, due to something that’s not their fault. I’ll keep working to make sure that the federal government steps up to have the backs of folks in our neck of the woods.”
