Washington — Wyoming Congresswoman and House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) issued the following statement after voting in favor of the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act that adds more money to the PPP and funding for hospitals and for testing:

“The bill passed by the House today will provide emergency resources for small businesses and workers who are facing economic devastation because of the Coronavirus pandemic. It also appropriates additional funds for our hospitals and to expand testing. The Paycheck Protection Program has faced huge demand and should have been renewed weeks ago. Unfortunately, rather than move expeditiously to provide additional resources, Democrats blocked this crucial aid while American families suffered. At this time of unprecedented crisis for our nation, we must put politics aside and come together to defeat the virus and restore our economy.”
