Responding to the Crisis
Congress has already passed, and the President signed into law, two sweeping responses to this outbreak. This is just the beginning. A third stimulus package is in the works that will be targeted at stabilizing our economy. There will likely be some sort of payments paid to individuals and families who make below a certain amount. Those details are still being worked out.
This third package will also focus on shoring up our business sector. And not just big business. This measure will specifically make small businesses a priority. Small business is the backbone of Alabama's economy. We must do everything we can to support these locally owned businesses.
Speaking of small business, earlier this, we put together a story about ways you can support small business during these tough times. You can watch that video here.
I am posting new information daily to my social media platforms. I encourage you to follow me on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube for the latest updates.
Spring began Thursday night. During these tough times, we need to have some positive things to focus on. We made a video highlighting the beauty of Alabama's 4th District as spring begins. You can watch that video here.
These are unusual circumstances for our country. I hope that you will continue to join me in praying for our nation and world during these tough times. Be safe and may God bless each of you.
