House Democrats in events at home: ‘Help is here,’ thanks to the American Rescue Plan

At schools and community centers, in businesses and neighborhoods, House Democrats held dozens of events detailing American Rescue Plan’s boost to hard hit families and communities

House Democrats just wrapped up two weeks in their districts, delivering the good news of the American Rescue Plan and its impact on families, schools, local governments, and small businesses. Their message: help is here. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress, who voted unanimously against delivering relief to the American people, were in Florida at the former president’s resort with embattled GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz.

In town hall meetings at community centers and school yards, events with first responders and local leaders, Democrats in Congress are making sure the American people know exactly how the American Rescue Plan expands access to healthcare, funding for COVID vaccination, and gets people back to work and children back in school.

In dozens of events across the country, House Democrats say, ‘Help is here,’ thanks to their American Rescue Plan:

DCCC Spokesperson Chris Taylor:

“This weekend, while Washington Republicans were crowded around embattled Congressman Matt Gaetz at the former president’s golf resort, House Democrats were focused on delivering for the American people. At events in their districts, Democrats took the message of the American Rescue Plan directly to families, small businesses, and communities and shared with their constituents how Democrats’ plan – passed with zero help from Republicans – will crush this pandemic for good and get our economy back on track.”
