Rep. Ruiz joins calls for vote on “HEROES ACT”

Representative Raul Ruiz is urging the Senate to begin a vote on the "HEROES ACT," which was passed back in May.

Ruiz was part of a press call along with other state representatives, to help extend unemployment benefits set to expire soon.

It protects the paychecks of front-line workers, provides payments of up to $6,000 for families who are struggling, and extends unemployment insurance that will expire at the end of the month.

President Trump and Republicans are also looking at a second round of $1,200 stimulus payments.
