Dear friend,
It wasn’t easy, but we got it done. After Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and
Senate Democrats wasted critical days holding the latest Coronavirus relief
package hostage, Congress has come back together to vote on a critical bill
that will send financial assistance homeNOW.
Here are key parts of this bill I know will be a huge help to Texans:
* $377 billion to help small businesses continue to pay their employees
* Immediate cash flow to individuals who – through no fault of their own –
have not been able to work and earn a paycheck
* A family of four making less than $150,000 can receive up to $3,400 to help
pay bills and put food on the table
* Unemployment benefits now available to Texans who are self-employed or
independent contractors
* Unemployment benefits will be increased $600 more per week through July 31,
2020
* Paid family leave for 12 weeks if you are ill or caring for someone who is
ill
* Repayment of student loans can be deferred for up to six months without
garnering penalties
* Vital industries like airlines, hotels and hospitality will be eligible for
loans to carry them through this time without letting down the thousands of
Texans who work for them, and the millions who will again rely on them for
entertainment and travel ** From the beginning, I was resolute that relief
money to help large industriesmust be used to keep employees on the payroll and
the lights turned on until business returned to normal. Not a single penny
ought to be used to boost executive compensation or purchase stocks and bonds.
This bill will also send money to state and local governments to strengthen
their community’s response efforts, including $850 million directly to law
enforcement officers for personal protective equipment and overtime. $100
billion will also go to support other heroes on the front lines: our community
hospitals (especially rural hospitals), telehealth providers, and health care
workers.
There’s no other way to put it: Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer tried to
exploit Americans’ fear and pain in order to push non-related, Liberal
priorities onto this bill. They weren’t successful, and this final bill looks
close to the original.I expect voters will remember how Democrats wasted
precious time playing politics during an unprecedented crisis.
I’ll continue to keep you updated on my work in Washington. Until then, be
safe… follow CDC guidelines, stay home as much as possible, and take care of
one another. We’re in this together, and we will get through it.
