Thank you for your leadership on these issues and your leadership on the Subcommittee you chair.
I feel it again today. We did a lot of good work toward the end of just before we broke for the recess.
I heard from thousands, literally thousands of Delawareans about delayed mail delivery, missing packages and letters.
The Postal Service OIG report showed significant areas of concern for the facilities and validated the concerns that our office had heard.
I believe that includes a moral obligation to ensure that all Americans have access to clean, safe, and reliable water services.
That water bill, combined with our Committee's historic highway legislation, served as the foundation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Nearly 2 years after becoming law, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is helping to make clean water a reality for millions of households.
