Last week, Crist voted for the bipartisan $900 billion coronavirus relief package to support American families and businesses struggling at the hands of the pandemic. At the time, Crist said, while this compromise could certainly do more to help struggling families and small businesses, it remains one of the largest relief packages in American history second only to the CARES Act. Crist has been calling for more stimulus checks sinceApril. Today, the People's House put the People first. Increasing the stimulus checks to $2,000 will provide a huge boost to people struggling, and help the economy recover more quickly from the pandemic, saidCongressman Crist. I am honored to be able to travel back to Washington to cast my vote for the people of Pinellas. With the support of President Trump and a bipartisan vote in the House, I am hopeful that Senate Republicans will do the right thing in delivering real relief to families in need. Let's get this done! | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
