An America United released a new digital ad urging Congress and President Biden to follow Governor Hogan’s lead on rebuilding crumbling infrastructure and cutting taxes.
In Maryland, Governor Hogan has moved forward on nearly all the highest transportation projects in every single jurisdiction while cutting taxes for seven years in a row. In contrast, Congress has been holding up the bipartisan infrastructure bill by linking it to the partisan $3.5 trillion spending bill that includes massive tax hikes.
Governor Hogan has argued “this divisive political gambit in the House may end up killing the infrastructure bill, which we desperately need. It seems as if now the Biden administration and Pelosi are trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.” According to the Associated Press and Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chair Brian Fitzpatrick, the scope of the bipartisan infrastructure deal was agreed to at Governor Hogan’s Annapolis infrastructure summit.
Governor Hogan spoke to Fox News about President Biden and Speaker Pelosi’s “divisive political gambit” to use the bipartisan infrastructure bill as leverage to pass $3.5 trillion in partisan spending. According to Governor Hogan, this posturing “may end up killing the infrastructure bill, which we desperately need. It seems as if now the Biden administration and Pelosi are trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.”
For over two years, Governor Hogan has been fighting for federal action on infrastructure, including hosting the Annapolis infrastructure summit that produced the framework for the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
No Labels, the non-partisan group Governor Hogan Co-Chairs also released an ad blasting the process of one party attempting to jam through $3.5 trillion in spending in three weeks as “crazy.” Governor Hogan has argued that with the national economy struggling “the last thing we need right now is [the] massive tax hikes” in the $3.5 trillion bill.
