As a native Clevelander and former Cuyahoga County Council member, I know firsthand how badly our roads and bridges, airports and rail systems, and water infrastructure and broadband networks need updating and repair. That is why I was proud to support the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the largest investment in infrastructure in generations.
Here are just a few ways the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is delivering for Ohio:
$1.8 billion to repave roads, modernize highways, and reduce commute times
$240 million to update drinking and wastewater systems
The largest investment in public transit, including our bus and rail systems, in our nation’s history
Expanded access to high-speed internet to more than 250,000 Ohioans
People have talked for decades about delivering on infrastructure. In 2021, we actually got it done. We have so much more work to do, but we must hold our Democratic majority in Congress to do it.
As a Cuyahoga County Council member and Chairwoman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, Shontel Brown has spent the last decade serving the people of Ohio and building coalitions. Now, as the Congresswoman for Ohio’s 11th District, she will fight for affordable quality health care, jobs that pay fair wages, a strong public education system, and equity and justice for all. Will you join her and be the change we need?
