Making sure our nation’s roads and bridges are safe and well maintained is a top priority for me. We learned a hard lesson last year when a bridge in Minnesota collapsed killing several people. We must invest in infrastructure now to prevent future tragedies.
That’s why I supported an $8 billion infusion into the Highway Trust Fund when it came to the House floor for a vote. This bill will transfer money from the general treasury to aid in federal and state highway projects. It passed by a vote of 387-37 and it is now up to the Senate to act.
