re: infrastructure

  John, The American people elected Democrats to provide economic relief to millions in need and pass a progressive agenda that lifts up everyone. That’s why Democrats unilaterally passed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan to send $1,400 checks to struggling families, extend unemp…
