Cline Statement on Vote to Increase Emergency Relief Checks Without Offsetting Cuts to Wasteful Spending | 2020-12-28 | 2020 | 2020-12 | Republican | House | VA | Ben Cline | C001118 | cline.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON Congressman Ben Cline (VA-06) released the below statement following House passage of H.R. 9051 the Caring for Americans with Supplemental Help Act. Virginians across the Commonwealth are hurting, and that is why I fully supported President Trump's call to raise the dollar amount of Emergency Relief Checks from $600 to $2000 by offsetting it with cuts to wasteful spending included in the bill. Sadly, Democrats voted down our attempt to make these changes last week. Therefore, because the bill only included half of President Trump's proposal, I could not support the bill as written, Cline said. Congressman Ben Cline represents the Sixth Congressional District of Virginia. He previously was an attorney in private practice and served both as an assistant prosecutor and Member of the Virginia House of Delegates. Cline and his wife, Elizabeth, live in Botetourt County with their two children. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
