On the recordNovember 15, 2024
Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the third anniversary of the bipartisan infrastructure law which has delivered over a billion dollars and 13,000 jobs in my district. I see the way this legislation is helping out communities. That is why I am committed to protecting it in the next administration. Either out of misguided priorities or merely out of revenge, I know there are Members in this Chamber who have expressed eagerness to dismantle these programs. We have already been calling out people who voted ``no'' but still took the dough. Now we need to be ready to highlight how these efforts to undermine these laws would harm middle-class working families. In my role in the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I will work to protect our landmark achievements every single day. I will happily remind my colleagues who may suddenly embrace government spending, again, under President Trump, who is really to thank for the communities' improved quality of life. ____________________
