I look forward to working with with my colleagues in Congress to pass an infrastructure bill to be signed into law. Some of my top infrastructure priorities include:

• Providing significant, long-term federal investment in modern roads, highways, bridges, transit systems.
• Funding waterway infrastructure such as ports being that our ports connect farmers, manufacturers, and consumers to the worldwide market—Ports and waterways move American goods and services to the global marketplace.
• Making sure infrastructure investments promote accountability to ensure the greatest value for every dollar and provide flexibility so that states can determine and address their most pressing need.
• Ensuring that federal dollars make their way to rural parts of our country.

I also support public-private partnerships as well in order to maximize resources and ensure our country is connected by a safe and efficient transportation network. While this remains our federal responsibility it can also be carried out by the help of our non-federal partners. In 2021 we must work to provide financially responsible investment in our nation’s infrastructure.
