The safety of Rhode Islanders is the top priority for Congressman Langevin. He has remained in contact with health officials at the state and federal levels and will continue to monitor the situation closely. Recently, he voted for the CARES Act, a bipartisan $2 trillion relief package to support working families, bolster health care systems, assist state and local governments, and stabilize the nation’s economy as communities grapple with the COVID-19 public health crisis. He also voted in favor of an $8.3 billion emergency funding package in support of preparedness and response efforts and the bipartisan Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which guarantees free testing, extends important sick leave and family and medical leave benefits to workers, and provides food security to children affected by school closures.
