The $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill passed by the House on Wednesday along party lines. The bill now heads to President Biden’s desk.
Arizona’s representatives spoke out about the bill on social media platforms:
The Democrats’ $2 trillion COVID spending package allows for taxpayer-funded abortions. I’m outraged to see that the sanctity of life is brutally unprotected by congressional Democrats and the Biden administration. https://t.co/fDk3U4eZx2

The #AmericanRescuePlan is a relief bill that matches the magnitude of this crisis. That’s why I voted yes.
I also want to highlight 5 lesser known provisions in the bill – on top of the $1400 checks & $300 in unemployment – that I don’t think are getting enough attention:

I voted against Pelosi’s partisan payoff because Americans need targeted, immediate relief, not a $1.9 trillion partisan wish list that drives up the national debt and parts of it won’t take effect until years from now. READ my statement below⬇️https://t.co/vjxfNxccit

A crisis of this magnitude warrants a bold response, and the #AmericanRescuePlan gets our communities the relief they deserve.
It puts money in people's pockets, safely returns children to in-person learning, and get shots in the arms of everyone.
I proudly support it. pic.twitter.com/brnz84oDk9

Let's clear-up any comparisons being made between the $1.9 trillion spending bill & #TCJA:
Republicans reduced taxes, increased wages, and closed income inequality.
Democrats are sending a one-time check, increasing interest rates, and crushing hard-working Americans' futures. pic.twitter.com/eli7AlVuEF

This historic COVID relief package has now passed the Senate and House, and I’m proud to have been a part of it. This bill will provide direct relief to AZ families, support local governments, get more vaccines in people's arms, and help us begin the path to economic recovery. https://t.co/JlddqxGTpd
