Kay Granger (TX) voted in favor of allocating the available funds for HR2055 into specific categories. Her positive vote helped make up the 68% of democrats and republicans who voted in favor of the HR 2055 allocations (Open Congress, n.d.).
Specifically, Ms. Granger, referred to the funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Ms. Granger stated, "Nearly three quarters of the CDC's budget is directed to health departments in our local cities and towns. Communities depend on these funds to help keep people safe, healthy, and free from disease. This funding is even more important now because local governments are already struggling to keep prevention programs funded" (house.gov, n.d.)
