WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (AZ-08) released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act:

“I am pleased to see that the CARES Act passed the U.S. House of Representatives and I look forward to Arizonans and Americans across our nation receiving the benefits of this bill during this difficult time. I supported this relief package to help workers, small businesses, hospitals and healthcare workers, and to increase production of needed medical supplies and treatments. My office is helping people all over our district. I look forward to continuing to work with the Trump Administration and my colleagues to guide our country through this difficult time. Please join me in keeping Arizona and America in our prayers. America is strong and we will get through this by working together.”
