Beatty's statement reads: "I rise today to support this legislation because my constituents desperately need unemployment benefits, stimulus checks, food assistance, eviction moratorium, small business relief, minority deposit institutions' and community development financial institutions' assistance, and other important protections in this bill. Seven months after the House passed The Heroes Act, Republicans have finally relented to allow more support to the American people who are struggling through the three pandemics: COVID-19, economic hardship, and social injustice. So, let me be clear: the GOP has had a knee on Americans' necks by holding this bill up, and it still falls short of what we need to get through this crisis. But I will continue to stand up for the constituents of Ohio's Third Congressional District and for people across this nation. And I will work with my colleagues and the Biden Administration to get people the support they need to build back better. Thank you, and I yield back." An archived recording of Beatty's speech can be viewed on YouTube. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-28T00:42:23Z |
