Our hearing on "The State of Transportation Infrastructure and Supply Chain Challenges,” shows how fixing America’s infrastructure is creating jobs, boosting our economy, and improving quality of life.
Join me for a snack as I prep for the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee's first hearing of 2023!
As the lead Democrat of @TransportDems, we know @RepRickLarsen can help cook up great new ways to revitalize America's infrastructure and transit...but can he bake?
today as he outlined how the BIL will make the Hudson River Tunnel Project a reality - replacing crumbling century-old tunnels and creating 72,000 well-paying jobs.
This is a win for the 8th, for NJ, and for our nation.
Let’s get it done.

I’m excited to serve on @TransportDems again this Congress. We often don’t think about infrastructure until it fails—but when we make smart policy choices, we can build systems we can count on.
Proud to serve a second term on @TransportDems and join @HomelandDems. I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to make positive change for Louisianians!
I'm proud to announce that more than $60M in @FTA_DOT funding is coming to Las Vegas and Henderson thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law which I helped pass.
This funding will help equip our district to build even further on its status as a global transit hub.
The women of the @TransportDems are already getting to work! It was great to sit down with Ranking Member @RepRickLarsen and my fellow new members, @Rep_Peltola and @RepEmiliaSykes, to talk about critical T&I issues.
It is an honor to serve on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. I am excited to get to work alongside my colleagues on the committee to deliver real results for the 13th Congressional District of Ohio.
