Congressman McHenry Weekly Update

Preparing For the Potential Impact of the Coronavirus

In recent weeks we have heard a lot about the spread of COVID-19, or the Coronavirus, and the potential impact it could have on us here at home. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is advising that for the general American public the immediate health risk is still considered low, this is a good opportunity to learn more about protecting you and your loved ones and preventing the spread of diseases like the coronavirus. Click here to visit the CDC's webpage on the coronavirus. You can also watch an informative video on how to prevent the spread of germs by clicking here or on the image below.

An Update From the Financial Services Committee

This week, the House Committee on Financial Services held a markup of seven bills, which included three bipartisan measures that passed the Committee. The Committee also considered the Fiscal Year 2021 budget views and estimates where Democrats demonstrated once again that they want to spend more, create more bureaucracy, nationalize more of private industry, and create more regulation. These policies will shrink our economy, cost American jobs, hinder markets, and raise the cost of financial products and services for all consumers – ultimately failing the individuals, families, and small businesses that these policies are intended to help. Instead, we should be working together to advance policies that promote competition, free markets, and innovation.

	What I Have Been Reading
	Former MIA solider's uniform finds home in Gastonia Gaston Gazette Gaston County native Army Cpl. Earl W. Duncan finally returned home after he went missing while fighting for our country in Korea almost 70 years ago. His remains were sent back to the United States last year after the summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. The Duncan family donated his uniform to the local military museum in Gaston County so that others can learn of his dedication and sacrifice to our country. Thank you to the Duncan family for your donation and to all of our brave military men and women for their service and sacrifice.
