STATEMENT: Democratic Party of Georgia Applauds Final Passage of American Rescue Plan Through U.S. House

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the final version of the Biden-Harris administration’s COVID-19 relief bill, with key votes from Georgia’s Democratic representatives, including Rep. Lucy McBath and Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux. In response, Scott Hogan, Executive Director of the Democratic Party of Georgia, released the following statement: 

“With the final passage of the American Rescue Plan in the House of Representatives today, Georgians are one step closer to getting the help they need to overcome the unprecedented public health and economic crises we face. Georgia’s Democratic congressional delegation has been at the forefront of the fight to deliver big, bold relief to Americans, and with this bill’s passage, Democrats are fulfilling the promises made to Georgians to send direct payments, aid small businesses, ramp up vaccinations, and help schools reopen. Our state is grateful and lucky to have such dedicated public servants fighting for us in Washington.”
