| Update on my effort to force extension of emergency small business COVID relief in Congress |
|
Last Friday, I formally introduced a Discharge Petition to force Speaker Pelosi to hold a vote to extend the job-saving Paycheck Protection Program.
Watch my remarks on the steps of the U.S. Capitol before heading in to file the Discharge Petition, below.
As I write this, the petition has 148 Republican signatures. Nearly two dozen Democrat members have said they would sign it.
I'm going to keep the pressure going on this effort to ensure our Southwest Washington small businesses and hard working families receive the relief they need.
For timely updates on my Discharge Petition efforts, please make sure to follow me on Facebook and Twitter.

We know that seven out of ten new moms will face a health complication during the year following birth, so guaranteeing their ability to see a doctor and get treatment if needed is a monumental step in our fight to end this nation's maternal mortality crisis.
