On the recordJanuary 13, 2022
Every American deserves the opportunities that a good-paying job makes possible. Working with the Biden-Harris administration, Democrats in Congress have expanded those opportunities. Thanks to investments like the American Rescue Plan and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, job creation is at record levels. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will create millions more good-paying, union jobs. Not only will it rebuild our roads and bridges, but it also invests in infrastructure that will spur economic development in our communities. Removing lead pipes and guaranteeing clean drinking water for 10 million more Americans will improve community health and help attract new companies that will bring jobs and investments. So will expanding reliable broadband and modernizing regional airports like the DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport in my district. Finally, expanding our electric vehicle charging network will give Americans more options when choosing a new car, while accelerating climate action. I am so proud to work with the Biden-Harris administration to rebuild infrastructure for Illinois families, and we are just getting started. ____________________
