WASHINGTON D.C. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Today, Representative Mark Green will host a live town hall meeting via Facebook Live to address the continued challenges of the COVID-19 outbreak and update members of the district on actions they can take to protect themselves, their families and the community at large.

Green said, “The spread of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has raised a lot of important questions for us as Americans. While it has been incredibly disappointing that the Democrat leadership in the House has used this as an opportunity to cram through their legislative wishlist, I am confident we will get supportive legislation passed soon. Many Americans are in an economic lurch because of the widespread business shutdowns to control the virus, and most legislators get it and we will soon pass a bill.”

Friday, March 27, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill providing relief to American businesses and citizens as the need for social distancing persists. The $2 trillion stimulus package was approved by the Senate late Wednesday, March 26, with bipartisan support after two days of debate. Green has shown measured support for the legislation while remaining vocal about what he sees as some flaws.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Green has appeared on podcasts and in the news, sharing his perspective on the virus as both a U.S. congressman and an ER Surgeon.

“It is important for businesses, independent contractors, workers and all Tennesseans to fully understand the impending legislation,” Green continued. “Join me for a Facebook Live Town Hall Meeting on Thursday at 5 pm CT/6 pm ET, to answer your questions about COVID-19. We will discuss Congress’ response to the pandemic and what we as Americans should be doing going forward.”
