Issues: National Security Health and Health Care

Today, Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) released the statement below following President Trump's declaration of a national emergency to combat Coronavirus and after voting to support H.R. 6201, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act:

"Our response to the Coronavirus outbreak is evolving every day, but we must not forget: The United States is strong, and the people of Central Washington are resilient.

A national emergency declaration creates flexibility and unlock funds to stop the spread of the virus across the country and around the world. I applaud President Trump and the Administration for taking this pandemic seriously, and I appreciate their leadership as they work with states and local health departments to ensure Americans stay healthy and informed.

I will continue to work to expand access to COVID-19 testing, provide resources for small businesses and workers affected by the outbreak, and support families struggling with the repercussions of state-mandated school closures."
