WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congressman Brian Babin (TX-36) released the following statement after voting for the $7.8 billion emergency supplemental package for the U.S. response to the coronavirus (COVID-19).

“As this global health crisis continues, and we see more COVID-19 cases confirmed in the U.S., it’s crucial to ensure adequate funding and the proper resources are in place at the federal, state, and local levels,” said Babin. “These funds will be used to address the virus at home and abroad, including expediting vaccine development, combating the spread of COVID-19, purchasing essential equipment and supplies, and assisting state and local health departments.  

“I’m proud that Congress could put partisan politics aside and compromise on a bill that will meet this emergency head-on and protect the American people.”
