John, yesterday I asked Secretary Steve Mnuchin why he’s planning to strip billions of unspent COVID-19 relief money away from the American people.
When I tried to remind him of the law that Congress passed which contradicts his reasoning, he questioned whether I'm a lawyer. (The answer is yes, I am a lawyer. But that’s beside the point.)
I didn’t ask my questions so that we could talk about my resume. I asked my questions on behalf of the millions of families who are struggling to pay rent, who are waiting in long lines at food pantries, and who need immediate relief.
Look, our country is facing an economic crisis, and those in power are making up reasons for why they can’t help. We need answers as to why—that’s why I’m here.
Thanks for being in this fight,
Katie
