Slotkin Calls on Leaders in Washington to Approach COVID Relief Negotiations with Same Urgency Michiganders Feel During Crisis
WASHINGTON, DC –– U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (MI-08) spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives today, stressing the urgency of passing a bipartisan COVID relief package before the end of the year. As negotiations based on the bipartisan proposal Slotkin and the Problem Solvers Caucus unveiled last week continue, Slotkin called on leaders on both sides of the aisle to approach negotiations with the same urgency that Michiganders are feeling as they struggle to weather this crisis. Slotkin's remarks can be viewed here. "Platitudes won't feed a family. Empty words won't get folks through the holidays," Slotkin said. "And frankly, it's a slap in the face to the ICU nurses, the small business owners, and the frontline workers doing everything they can to weather this crisis."
