Political Quotes

“I thank the chairman for yielding. I rise in support of the INVEST in America Act, which focuses on rebuilding our Nation's highways, transit systems, railroads, and water systems. These investments will spur economic development, tackle the climate crisis, and put people to work in good-paying union jobs. I am proud that the Act includes some issues that I fought for that will benefit the State of Nevada, provisions to support projects of regional impact, like the completion of I-11 between Las Vegas and Phoenix; an expansion of the RRIF program to help with the development of high-speed passenger rail; projects to reduce congestion and improve air quality in our environmental justice communities; and resources for child passenger safety programs in our underserved communities. Finally, I am glad to see Congress reassert its authority to direct funding to priority projects in a very transparent manner. Critical infrastructure projects in southern Nevada will see $20 million in funding to support congestion relief, transit, and safety enhancements on roadways that cross and crisscross the district. The INVEST Act sends a clear and strong message about our priorities, and I congratulate our chairman for his hard work on this issue.”
