U.S. Rep.Susie Lee (Nev.-03) spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives to urge hercolleagues in Congress to come together to pass an additional bipartisan COVID-19 relief package. The following is a transcript of Rep. Lee's remarks: I rise today on behalf of the people of Nevada's ThirdCongressionalDistrict, with a plea toall ofmy colleagues. We are now entering the darkest period of this pandemic. Americans are scared, and I don't blame them. Americans are also angry, and they should be. They're angry at Congress and this administration for failing to pass more relief for struggling families, frontline workers, and small businesses. Thousands more Nevadans filed for unemployment during the last few weeks. Over 400,000 Nevadans remain at risk of eviction as housing assistance expires. And as this virusuncontrollably spreads in every corner of the country, our frontline workers and hospitals are overwhelmed with a tidal wave of new COVID-positive patients. There's no time for the political games that have consumed Congress for months. There never was. I'm pleadingto my Republican and Democratic colleagues, toourleadership, and to this administration: it's time to do our jobs and pass more COVID-19 relief now.
