Political Quotes

“Today marks one year of Democrats in Congress working alongside the Biden-Harris administration on behalf of American families. I am proud of what we have accomplished so far, including the once- in-a-generation investment in our roads and bridges made by the bipartisan infrastructure law. With nearly 2,500 bridges in poor condition, Illinois ranks third among States with crumbling bridge infrastructure. Thanks to the bipartisan infrastructure law, Illinois will receive $1.4 billion to repair and rebuild these bridges, like the Blackberry Creek and Mendota railroad bridges in my district. These upgrades will save Illinoisans money on costly car repairs and time on their daily commutes. This long-overdue investment will also connect our communities and support our supply chain, while creating good-paying jobs and spurring economic development. With the partnership of the Biden-Harris administration, we have spent the last 365 days delivering for the American people. Our work is far from finished. ____________________”
