Pelosi Statement on House Democrats Holding One Thousand Infrastructure Events Across the Nation

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement on House Democrats holding one thousand events across the nation highlighting the historic investments in workers and communities in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act:

"Over the last two months, House Democrats have barnstormed the nation to bring the good news of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to the American people. As of today, House Democrats have hosted more than one thousand events around the nation, highlighting how Democrats Deliver For The People.

"As funding from this law has already been designated for communities across the country – with grants for bridges, airports, water systems and more – Democrats are making clear that every American knows how these once-in-a-century investments in our infrastructure will improve their lives. Under the strong leadership of President Biden, this historic achievement will create millions of good-paying union jobs in nearly every community over the next decade: repairing our roads and bridges, cleaning our water supply, expanding broadband access, improving our resilience to climate disaster, and much more.

"Our Caucus salutes the tireless leadership of DPCC Chairs Matt Cartwright, Debbie Dingell, Ted Lieu and Joe Neguse for their hard work in coordinating this effort. As we continue to spread the word of our many victories For The People, the Democratic House remains hard at work to help our nation Build Back Better: with bigger paychecks, lower costs and lower taxes for families, while making the wealthiest Americans and the biggest corporations pay their fair share."
