LaMalfa Supports Bill to Fund Government Through December 11
(Washington, DC) – Congressman Doug LaMalfa issued the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 8319, the Continuing Appropriations Act, which funds the government through December 11th, 2020. This Appropriations package includes $30 billion to reimburse the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), which provides funding for agriculture programs, along with an $8 billion extension of Pandemic-EBT program (P-EBT), which reimburses families for meals they typically rely on schools to provide for their children.
LaMalfa said: "Farmers and ranchers have had a difficult time during this pandemic, facing lower revenues and higher costs to produce America's food supply. Reimbursing the CCC in this spending package was imperative to ensure our agriculture economy could survive this pandemic. I'm also glad to see the government avoid a shutdown by keeping our government funded for the next several months."
