In light of the recent legislation increasing stimulus check amounts to $2,000 that passed the House of Representatives, the Florida Democratic Party released the following statement, calling on Rick Scott to support working class Floridians:
Senator, you have the opportunity to support working Floridians and vote to increase stimulus check payments to $2,000. While Democrats have been supporting larger payments for months, it’s not too late to change your tune and support the lives and livelihoods of your constituents. It’s time to put people above politics for once— say you will vote to support the $2,000 payments.
