LAFAYETTE, La. â Katie Broudreaux and her boyfriend Therin Broussard found themselves unemployed at the beginning of the pandemic, stretching every dollar from the first stimulus check for as long as they could.
All these months later, they say they could use the extra help.
"We're not able to make as much as we used to to afford everything we're used to," said Broussard, who worked as a massage therapist.
On Capitol Hill, here is how Louisiana's congressmen voted: Democrat Cedric Richmond and Republican Clay Higgins voted "yes" for the $2,000 stimulus; however, Republicans Steve Scalise, Garret Graves and Mike Johnson voted "no" while Republican Ralph Abraham did not vote.
