BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Ms. ESCOBAR. Madam Speaker, I rise to support this interim package.
I have spent every day in my district speaking to constituents and stakeholders battered by this health and economic crisis. I am grateful to Speaker Pelosi and Democratic colleagues who fought for additional money for small businesses, fixed problems we saw after the first round of funding, and added money for hospitals.
I am disappointed by Republican colleagues who refused to include local and State governments, but we will keep fighting for them and so many others who were left out.
