Congressman Ron Estes (R-Kansas) sent a letter to local government entities throughout Kansas, including the Wichita City Council, regarding funds made available in the CARES Act. Rep. Estes voted in support of the bipartisan Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act that includes funding to help state and local governments face new challenges as a result of the recent public health crisis.

"The intent of Congress is to support state and local government as much as possible during this crisis," wrote Rep. Estes. "The state of Kansas is receiving a massive level of funding in the current structure. I want to encourage all levels of our state and local governments to work together in a manner and response equal to the situation we are facing."
