Pete Buttigieg

Thank you. Yes, really looking forward to a chance to see it in person, welcome a chance to connect with your office further on how to encourage development.

Unquestionably so. People need to be able to physically get to where the opportunity is, and if they lack good or affordable options to get there, that is an economic barrier.

The president`s jobs plan is fully funded, while not even raising corporate tax rates to the level that they have been at for most of my lifetime.

That`s why it`s called the American Jobs Plan.

The president`s executive order this week on cybersecurity, I think, was important, an important step.

The best solution, the best answer is never to be in that situation in the first place.

If we can come to an agreement on at least part of what we ought to do, then let’s at least try to do that part together. This negotiation is about seeing how much we can find some kind of common ground. I would like to believe that if…

The U.S. shouldn't be too proud to learn from other countries, especially now that we're out of the top 10 [ranked countries for infrastructure], I always want to see the U.S. No. 1.

I just don't know why people in other countries ought to have better train service or more investment in high-speed rail than Americans do.

The President is proposing the policies that will actually make it happen.

Having major corporations sometimes making billions of dollars in profits, paying zero in taxes doesn’t make any sense.

Doing nothing is not an option, that he wants to see real progress by Memorial Day.

We have policies that have such extraordinary strong bipartisan support out among the American people. But just because that’s true, doesn’t mean it’s reflected here in Washington.

I love it. It`s an interesting job in any season. But right now, when we`re on the cusp of what might be the most transformative thing that`s happened to transportation in my lifetime, it`s thrilling.

Let`s connect where there was a division. Let`s invest where there was a disinvestment, because the truth is, that`s not only the right thing to do for those minoritized groups who have been overburdened and underserved. It also will make…

We believe this is the time to go big. And, obviously, we believe the president’s vision is the right way to do it.

So, the president is setting very ambitious targets for the United States to cut our emissions in half on the timeline he laid out.

We're not going to all this trouble just in hopes of remaining 13th in infrastructure globally.

We view it as extremely important to make sure as we're making especially these potentially once-in-a-lifetime or once-in-a-generation investments that they be done with resilience in mind.

Yes, we think this is especially important to consider, that it's often in rural and more spread-out States where Americans would have the most to gain from the fuel savings associated with electric vehicles.

We have a proposal that fully funds these once-in-a-lifetime capital investments on its own terms.

It's in this context that we see the American Jobs Plan as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to meet this consequential moment and to win the future for the country that we all serve.
