response efforts to make sure that they are not forced to cut essential services for our residents or lay off health professionals or teachers or firefighters or law enforcement officials. we must replenish the disaster relief fund which will help give our cash-strapped state and local governments the resources they need to pay for personal protection equipment, aid in vaccine distribution, and provide additional support services to communities struggling with overwhelming coronavirus cases. and we must provide funding to ensure there is strong oversight of how federal taxpayer dollars are actually being spent on federal covid efforts, ensuring resources and support that congress has authorized is actually reaching the people who need it the most. one of my top priorities and an issue i hear about every day from michiganders is the need to extend unemployment benefits. over three million michiganders have claimed unemployment insurance since the start of this pandemic. that's around one-third of the entire population of michigan. and unfortunately, we are not out of the tunnel yet. over half a million of these claims are still active. and it's not just impacting one part of my state. all 83 michigan
