WASHINGTON—President Donald J. Trump today appointed U.S. Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy of Winter Park, Fla., to a bipartisan, bicameral White House group to help guide the legislative response to the economic crisis caused by COVID-19. This select group of Members of Congress will seek bipartisan policy solutions to help rebuild the American economy in the wake of this public health emergency.
“While I disagree with the President on a vast array of issues, my job is to put politics aside and advocate for my constituents. So when the President of the United States asked me to help guide our nation’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, I wanted to make sure Central Florida had a seat at the table,” said Murphy. “I’ll use this opportunity to inform the President about the unique economic conditions facing Central Florida and then work with my colleagues in the House and Senate to ensure our response prioritizes working families and struggling businesses, especially small businesses. I’ll also keep holding this Administration accountable for any mismanagement or delay in getting aid to Central Florida families, and I’ll work tirelessly with both parties to ensure our country emerges from this pandemic with an economy that is stronger and more resilient.”
