In 2000, I fought very hard to create something called the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program in the aftermath of the awful cold storage warehouse fire which claimed the lives of six Worcester firefighters in December of 1999. I learned at that time that our firefighters were not always given the best equipment, so I worked with my colleagues to form the AFG program and ensure that local communities could afford to keep first responders safe. I think of those firefighters every time

I just spoke on the House Floor urging passage of an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act which would reduce Pentagon spending by 10% so we can start reinvesting in our communities and our people here at home. As Chairman of the Rules Committee, I'm proud to have made this amendment in order for floor debate. I support our troops. And this amendment exempts from cuts military personnel, defense health care and our federal civilian workforce. But I do not support military spending

And if you have questions or you develop symptoms, please isolate yourself and call a doctor to get advice! Here’s an update about our ongoing response to the coronavirus: | Congressman Jim McGovern

This afternoon, I opened up debate on final passage of the American Rescue Plan. Working together with President Joe Biden, I am proud that we have met this moment. Not as a chance to help big corporations or the well-off and well-connected, as those on the other side have done over and over again, but as an opportunity to invest in our workers, our students, and our communities — in the very people who need help the most. This legislation makes the biggest investments in our workers and in the
