“The ambiguity of the reconciliation process would leave the bipartisan infrastructure package in limbo and lead to possible failure. “The Senate overwhelmingly voted to invest $1 trillion to modernize our nation’s aging infrastructure for the 21 st century and the House must also deliver for the American people,” said Congressman Schrader. In a deeply divided Congress, it is virtually impossible to pass such major initiatives, and any changes or delays will likely cause this one to fail.” That’s why this measure is so widely supported nationwide, and we cannot risk any failure to deliver. We also desperately need to prove our dysfunctional government can actually work. Our country desperately needs this direct reinvestment in our crumbling infrastructure. “We must pass the $1 trillion Senate physical infrastructure package immediately and send it to the President without changing it and without linking it to the $3.5 trillion social infrastructure package,” said Congressman Case.
Americans are ready to get back to work and we must seize this historic opportunity to pass a once in a generation infrastructure legislation-a rare example of broad-based bipartisan, bicameral support.” It is only rational that we move this bill forward now. These investments will not only create good-paying jobs, but will also improve public transportation options, replace crumbling bridges, repair roads, protect against cyber-attacks, and help provide widespread broadband coverage across Texas. Specifically, the bill allocates nearly $30 billion for infrastructure improvements in Texas. That is why the bill has broad, bipartisan support and endorsements from the nation’s governors, mayors, business leaders, and major labor unions. “The Infrastructure Bill benefits all Americans-regardless of political party. “The Infrastructure Framework is a bipartisan agreement to make the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure and competitiveness in nearly a century,” said Congressman Cuellar. “Immediately thereafter, I will support a budget resolution and look forward to the negotiation of a reconciliation package that will expand on providing childcare benefits to those that need it most, provide funding that will give community college students a tuition-free pathway to a degree, and extend benefits to America’s working men and women.” “I believe we should bring the Bipartisan Infrastructure Package, supported by 50 Senate Democrats and 19 Republicans, to the floor for a vote and immediate passage next week for the President’s swift signature,” said Congressman Vela. We need to get people to work and shovels in the ground." We have the votes to pass this legislation right now, which is why I believe we should first vote immediately on the bipartisan infrastructure package, send it to the President's desk, and then quickly consider the budget resolution, which I plan to support. "This bipartisan legislation will help create two million jobs a year over the next decade it has earned support from the AFL-CIO and local building trades to the U.S.
That’s why the House can’t afford to wait months, or do anything to risk passing the historic infrastructure package that the Senate voted on earlier this month, with overwhelming Democratic and Republican support," said Congressman Gottheimer. Like the rest of America, we have waited far too long for legislation that will actually fix our nation’s infrastructure. "New Jersey has the third worst roads in the nation, a third of our bridges need repairs, and our critical train tunnel to New York is 113-years-old and literally crumbling. Washington, D.C. – Today, Representatives Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Filemon Vela (D-TX), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Ed Case (D-HI), Kurt Schrader (D-OR), Carolyn Bourdeaux (D-GA), Jared Golden (D- ME), Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX), and Jim Costa (D-CA) released the following statements to reiterate their position and call for an immediate vote on the Senate-passed Bipartisan Infrastructure bill.
