This detailed breakdown shows how the CARES Act, which is heading to President Trump’s desk for signature this afternoon, will help all Americans: individuals, small and big businesses, hospitals and public health, the federal safety net, state and local governments, and education.

Over the past week, I’ve been talking by phone with constituents every day in Georgia 6th, checking in to see how things are going and providing updates regarding resources for individuals and companies.

For others, like those in our restaurant, retail, and other consumer sectors, it’s truly dire times.

Governor Kemp and his team are working hard every hour of every day to protect the health AND financial well being of Georgians. Many new resources have been launched to help families and small businesses — including delaying the state income tax filing deadline, additional funds for SNAP recipients, and assistance for small businesses.
