                    LIFTING FAMILIES OUT OF POVERTY

  (Ms. STANSBURY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. STANSBURY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to share in the relief 
that families across New Mexico will be receiving starting next month.
  Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, about 95 percent of New Mexico's 
children will be eligible to get money through the child tax credit. 
Working families with kids will get payments of up to $300 monthly per 
child. That means more money for childcare and to put food on the table 
and to support our hardworking families.
  I personally know the struggles that many New Mexican families face, 
and that is why here in Congress I am continuing to work to tackle 
childhood hunger and create more opportunities to lift our families out 
of poverty. We must make these tax credits permanent and put more money 
into the pockets of hardworking parents so they can get back to work 
and fuel our economy.
