The issue of Transportation is important to our district and to my work in Congress.
Few issues are more important to California than its transportation and infrastructure. I requested assignment the Congressional committee responsible for transportation specifically so I can stress the needs of the Central Valley here in Washington. California’s roadways are some of the most utilized and significant in the country, providing for the movement of goods and services across the largest state economy in the nation. Without additional resources, the continued erosion of our infrastructure will soon cripple economic activity in the region and restrict the availability of goods to the Central Valley.
I will work with communities, cities, and counties in my district and throughout California, as well as nationally from my seat on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to ensure the proper resources are devoted to our region. As our population grows, easy, safe, and reliable transportation becomes more necessary.
