Doug Collins statement on CARES Act

WASHINGTON — Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) released the following statement after the House passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act:

“In recent weeks, this crisis has devastated our families, our communities, and our entire way of life. Americans are suffering, our health care workers are exhausted, and businesses are struggling. Americans need relief, and they need it now.

“We are battling an unprecedented global crisis, and it calls for an unprecedented response. While no legislation is perfect, I’m glad Congress could come together to send this package to the President’s desk to quickly deliver the relief our country desperately needs.

“The CARES Act will provide families with immediate support by putting cash in their pockets. It will protect Americans’ livelihoods by keeping workers employed, and helping businesses stay afloat to ensure American workers have jobs to come back to. This package stands up for our heroes fighting on the frontlines by ensuring our nurses, doctors, and countless health care professionals have the resources they need to continue saving lives.

“When faced with a challenge, America always rises to the occasion. I’m proud of the way our country has rallied together to support one another in the face of this crisis, and I’m proud we can finally deliver the quick relief Americans have been asking for. We will beat this virus, and our nation will emerge stronger than ever before.”
