## LIE: Adam Hamilton “Pocketed $3 million in taxpayer-funded COVID relief.”

**TRUTH:** This claim is completely false. In 2020, Resurrection sought a Paycheck Protection Program loan amid fears that the economic downturn would prevent them from paying their 427 employees. The church was one of [less than 1%](https://www.npr.org/2024/01/09/1223786937/some-companies-are-paying-back-ppp-loans-when-they-could-be-forgiven) of PPP recipients that voluntarily [repaid](https://data.usatoday.com/paycheck-protection-program-loans/kansas/church-of-the-resurrection-united-methodist/5213967007/?page=1&searchtext=resurrection&state=Kansas) its loan in its’ entirety, with interest. Roger Marshall supported the PPP, which he [called](https://www.wibw.com/2020/09/26/marshall-cosponsors-bill-for-additional-support-for-kansas-businesses/) one of the most successful programs of the pandemic response [and](https://www.facebook.com/RogerMarshallMD/posts/the-paycheck-protection-program-has-been-instrumental-in-keeping-our-states-smal/992069801238030/) “instrumental to keeping our state’s small businesses open.”
