Kirkpatrick Votes to Pass Omnibus Appropriations and Coronavirus Relief Package | 2020-12-22 | 2020 | 2020-12 | Democrat | Senate | AZ | Ann Kirkpatrick | K000368 | kirkpatrick.house.gov | legacy | Democrats Secure Substantial Investments in Critical Priorities; Legislation Provides $900 Billion in Urgent Coronavirus Relief WASHINGTON Tonight, Rep. Kirkpatrick issued the following statement after the passage of the omnibus spending bill consisting of all 12 fiscal year 2021 appropriations bills, coronavirus relief, and authorizations. The measure was considered as a divided question, with Divisions B, C, E, and F being agreed to on a bipartisan 327 to 85 vote and the remainder of the legislation being adopted on a bipartisan 359 to 53 vote. Tonight we completed the long awaited appropriations process. As Arizona's appropriator, I'm proud of the work my office has done to ensure our state receives the resources it needs and deserves. This spending package invests in the American people, in our national defense, economic opportunity projects, and strengthens programs for our vulnerable communities. I look forward to sharing more of the specific Arizona funding wins over the next few days, said Rep. Kirkpatrick. The more than $1.4 trillion fiscal year 2021 appropriations omnibus furthers House Democrats' commitment to investing For The People with substantial increases to non-defense spending alongside small increases for defense-related programs. In addition to the fiscal year 2021 appropriations bills, the spending package contains $900 billion in emergency coronavirus relief to protect the lives and livelihoods of the American people. Now, the COVID-19 relief part of this bill is not perfect but action is urgent. In Arizona, we have seen some of the worst devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic, relief for southern Arizona families has been long overdue. My colleagues and I have been fighting hard and long to pass a COVID relief bill and I am relieved we can finally deliver something today. While we did not secure every priority we sought, we are now successful in providing temporary relief, said Rep. Kirkpatrick.This bill will help make a down payment on giving our communities resources they need to help distribute vaccines, and provide vital support to families and local businesses. The spending package also includes a number of other matters outside the Appropriations Committee's jurisdiction and negotiated by bipartisan, bicameral leadership.
