Reps Dean and Barr Partner on Bipartisan Bill to Give Small Businesses Greater Access to Loans
Rep. Andy Barr
Sept. 10, 2020
Tweet - "Every Senate Democrat just voted against hundreds of billions of dollars of COVID-19 relief. They blocked money for schools, testing, vaccines, unemployment insurance, and the Paycheck Protection Program. Their goal is clear: No help for American families before the election."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 8, 2020
Tweet - "Republicans have built yet another effort to help Americans. Money for schools. Resources for parents. Testing. Vaccines. Another round of the job-saving PPP. And more. The Senate will be voting this week. The nation will see who's serious about making law for American families."

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Aug. 10, 2020
Tweet - "Because of Democrats' obstruction, the extra federal unemployment aid expired. The PPP is closed with no second round in sight. No new money for testing or schools. No second round of checks to families. Democrats held all this hostage for non-COVID-related liberal priorities."

Aug. 6, 2020
McConnell on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street"
