Last week, President Biden signed The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 into law. This comprehensive COVID-19 relief bill strategically allocates funding to encourage a robust economic recovery while creating a coordinated, national vaccination program to ensure we defeat this virus.



As we move forward, President Biden's COVID-19 relief plan will promote an inclusive recovery by putting shots in arms, money in pockets, children in schools, and people in jobs.

Because of the bold policy initiatives in The American Rescue Plan, the Congressional Budget Office projects a full economic recovery in just 12 months!



Meanwhile, in Tallahassee, I'm building on President Biden's economic and public health initiatives by working with my Democratic colleagues on a statewide COVID-19 relief and future pandemic preparation bill. Our bill supports working families and creates pandemic resiliency by safeguarding Florida's public health system and expanding healthcare coverage.

*
Creating

*
Ensuring

have

The past year has been challenging for everyone, especially for those who've lost loved ones to the virus. I want to thank you for your patients, resiliency, and commitment to protecting others by following public health guidelines. There's light at the end of the tunnel, and together we will defeat this virus.
