Political Quotes

“I thank the chairman for his leadership and his partnership in this vital $715 billion INVEST in America Act. This bill will modernize our Nation's roads, bridges, transit, rail, water systems, and hasten the transition to carbon-free mobility and resilience to climate threats in America. My amendments to the bill ensure that projects will be built by well- paid American workers with American made services and products. It does extend the NEPA timelines to ensure a timely project completion, and it also prioritizes evacuation routes and invests in corrosion resistance. This bill also invests $27 billion for roads and transit in California over the next 5 years and three critical projects in my own district: $8.5 million for the 505 highway over crossing in Winters, California; $4 million for a multimodal transit/highway improvement in Vacaville; and a $7\1/2\ million project in Fairfield, and--I would dare say, for my colleagues on the Republican side--a whole lot of their community-based projects which apparently they want us to vote for but they don't have the willingness to vote for on their own.”
