The following may be attributed to Representative Steve Stivers (R-OH), in response to the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act:

“The impact of this pandemic is unprecedented and as such, requires unprecedented action.  That is what the House did today in passing the CARES Act.  This bill gives desperately needed personal protective equipment to those health care workers and first responders on the frontlines of combatting this crisis, supports our small businesses through additional loans and grants to make payroll, and takes care of families in Ohio and across the nation with direct payments and unemployment insurance.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen the best of humanity.  Ohioans are looking out for their neighbors and finding new and creative ways to support their communities; everyone is stepping up to do their part.  In passing this bill, Congress is doing our part, and I was proud to vote in favor of it.”
