Democrats passed a historic relief package to expand vaccines, safely reopen schools, and help families. It’s a powerful bill that will make a real difference. There’s a lot of good stuff in it but I want to highlight two things:
I’ve been fighting alongside @SenTinaSmith for a $50 billion child care bailout since April. Great news: the relief bill finally gets us there to help child care providers keep their doors open. Now we need to build a child care system that works for families.
I’m happy that my bill with @SenatorMenendez to make any student loan forgiveness tax-free was included in the COVID relief bill. This clears the way for President Biden to #CancelStudentDebt without burdening student borrowers with thousands of dollars in unexpected taxes.
This is just the start of what Congress can do for working families. We must raise the minimum wage to $15/hr. We need to invest in infrastructure, k-12 education, and a clean energy economy. I’ll fight with every tool in the toolbox to help our families and economy recover.
