WASHINGTON, DC-Congressman Aderholt’s statement on his vote to support President Trump’s request for $2,000 direct Covid-19 stimulus payments:
“I voted to support President Trump’s efforts to get additional COVID-19 relief directly to those who need it, and can be the best stewards of how to spend it. Let me be clear, I have deep concerns about our national debt, and this is why I also support President Trump’s directive to Congress that we look at places to cut spending from the 2021 Federal Budget. We must reign in spending. However, there are many people in the 4th Congressional District, and in other parts of the nation, who are hurting right now. I had much rather give money directly to the people who need it most, than give it to states like New York in the form of a bailout, when they had not managed their finances well before the pandemic.”
