"For months, I have been working hard to deliver an infrastructure bill that creates jobs, tackles climate change and boosts our economic recovery here in the Kansas Third District. Today, I voted to send a bipartisan bill to the President's desk that will bring $3.8 billion to Kansas to meet those priorities—without raising taxes on the middle class.

This bipartisan infrastructure bill is not absolutely perfect, but it is absolutely necessary. It will not only bring needed federal funding to immediate infrastructure needs in our community, from US 69 to KCATA buses to high-speed internet access, but it will also make significant progress towards longer-term goals, boosting our clean energy economy and ensuring critical materials are made here at home."
