WASHINGTON -- Congressman Kweisi Mfume of Maryland released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives worked through the early morning hours to pass the American Rescue Plan Act. "We worked on behalf of Marylanders - and all Americans - to pass a bill that will help save lives and help protect livelihoods," said Congressman Mfume. "COVID-19 infection rates might be plateauing but the pain and strife our families feel has not subsided. There are too many Marylanders still dying from the virus, still unemployed, and still hungry and facing eviction. I am proud of the commitment we made to help families make ends meet, get more vaccines into the community, safely re-open schools, and provide a lifeline for struggling, small businesses."
