Yesterday President Biden signed into law one of the largest and most expansive relief bills in our history, the American Rescue Plan. I’m proud to report that help is on the way for every American — including those in NJ-5.

Our community has been hit hard by COVID-19, and a year after most of the country went into lockdown, we’re still dealing with the fallout of this deadly disease. No aspect of our community has gone untouched, but there is hope: this bill will make a positive impact on everyone.

Here are the toplines of the American Rescue Plan: 1.
Direct
payments
of
$1,400
(including
adult
dependents
like
college
students
who’ve
been
left
out
of
other
payments),
2.
An
extra
$300/week
in
unemployment
until
September,
3.
Child
poverty
will
be
cut
in
half
with
monthly
child
allowances,
4.
Direct
funding
to
schools
to
help
teachers
and
students
to
get
back
to
school
safely,
5.
Boost
in
economic
help
for
small
businesses
right
here
in
our
community,
6.
A
dramatic
increase
of
testing
and
vaccine
accessibility.

I specifically fought for dedicated local investment in broadband and internet, strike teams to help nursing homes manage COVID outbreaks, and tax cuts for the unemployed. These measures will contain the virus and get our economy moving again ASAP.

Overall, this law will help bolster our community and national economy while giving families the security they need to put food on the table and keep roofs over their heads. But I want to emphasize this: this bill is just the beginning.

The entire New Jersey delegation will not stop working on your behalf. The American Rescue Plan is our first step to recovery — but if anyone can get it done, it’s NJ-5.

I hope you and your family are well.

Yours,

Josh
