With this historic investment we will improve our roads, bridges and railway systems, create good paying jobs, increase broadband coverage, strengthen community resiliency to respond - and tackle - the climate crisis, and much more.

This historic legislation is a reminder of what Democrats and Republicans can accomplish when we work together. It shows voters that even in hyper partisan times the Democratic Party deliver and works together to improve the lives of all Americans. This is why it is critical we maintain Democratic majority in 2022 to continue delivering for the American people and keep our country moving in the right direction.
