All Oregon Democrats join to back Biden pandemic plan

President Joe Biden is poised to sign his $1.9 trillion pandemic recovery plan, which won final approval on Wednesday, March 10, with the support of Oregon’s four Democrats and opposition from its lone Republican in the U.S. House.

In descending order, the largest shares go toward economic stimulus payments to individuals, aid to state and local governments, extensions of unemployment benefits, childcare and other aid to families, reopening schools and COVID-19 vaccinations and other health care.

Oregon Rep. Kurt Schrader of Canby, one of only two Democrats to oppose the initial version on Feb. 27, joined all but one Democrat to support it on the final 221-210 vote.
