[1]Bowman for Congress

John,

If what I'm reading below from the Washington Post is true, I would have a
very hard time voting yes on the infrastructure package that's currently
on the table:

[ [link removed] ]In his meeting with the GOP's top negotiator, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito
(R-W.Va.), Biden raised the possibility he could take the proposed rate
increase off the table in an attempt to broker a compromise, according to
a person familiar with the talks who spoke on the condition of anonymity
to describe them.

This infrastructure package was written with the best interest of working
class folks in mind. If you ask me, there is absolutely no compromising
against their best interests. There is no allowing Republicans to unravel
and discredit our work. Racist infrastructure has damaged districts like
mine for generations, and this infrastructure bill can be an important
first step towards healing. But if President Biden continues to compromise
for the Republican Party's sake — we won't be able to make the much-needed
progress.

To be honest with you,
John, the $2.2 trillion package
was already the compromise. And if President Biden is brokering
compromises and deals that the Republican Party is dictating, I can't vote
yes on this version of the infrastructure package in good conscience.

The crises we face are immense and urgent. We have an economic crisis, a
climate crisis, and a crisis of racial injustice — the impacts of which
are felt by hundreds of millions of people daily.

The Biden administration and our Congress have a historic opportunity to
act. We were sent to Washington because we were expected to deliver
results, progresive change, and bold legislation.

History won't judge us kindly if we let moments like these pass us by.

Republicans have given Democratic governance the middle finger since the
day President Biden was inaugurated. That's why I'm so adamant that we
can't — and won't — reward them by keeping Donald Trump's corporate tax
cuts in place and slashing our infrastructure package by half.

[ [link removed] ]John, my
priorities are with getting the American people back on their feet — not
with getting Republicans on board with necessary legislation by watering
down its bold, progressive parts. I'm proud to continue holding
Republicans and President Biden accountable to making sure that this bill
passes as we intended, without compromise. Will you chip in $3 and support
my leadership in Congress as I continue this fight?

Thanks for your support,

Jamaal
