Today, following the House passage of President Biden’s historic Build Back Better Act, Congresswoman Nikema Williams, Chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia, released the following statement:
“Today, President Biden and Georgia’s House Democrats delivered on a transformative and overwhelmingly popular package that will create millions of good-paying jobs, expand access to health care, lower costs, and cut taxes for millions of middle-class families across our state — all without raising taxes a single cent for middle-class Georgians.
“Because of Democratic leadership, childhood poverty will be cut in half, housing costs will be reduced, America will take a huge step toward addressing the climate crisis, families will be able to afford child care and have universal access to high-quality pre-k, and small businesses will have the resources they need to get through this pandemic and thrive. While Georgia Republicans go to bat for corporations and the ultra-wealthy, Democrats are moving forward with the Build Back Better Act to help everyday Georgians get back on track, reward work not wealth, and build a fair economy that works for everyone.”
