Hinson and Miller-Meeks vote against once-in-a-generation investment that will rebuild Iowa’s infrastructure and create 2 million good-paying jobs annually
Yesterday, Reps. Ashley Hinson and Mariannette Miller-Meeks tried to deny a huge win for Iowans by voting “NO” on the wildly popular bipartisan infrastructure package. The legislation makes game-changing investments in clean infrastructure, significantly expands broadband access, strengthens our climate resilience, and provides millions of Americans with good-paying union jobs.
If it were up to Hinson and Miller-Meeks, workers and families across Iowa would have lost out on this once-in-a-generation investment to fix their crumbling roads and bridges and rebuild their communities to be even stronger.
This infrastructure package is the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure and competitiveness in nearly a century, and thanks to House Democrats, people across the country will feel the effects of this legislation for generations to come.
While Hinson and Miller-Meeks followed their party leaders and extremist House Republicans in voting “NO” on this legislation that a majority of the American people support, House Democrats worked to ensure Congress passed this legislation that will invest not only in our roads, but in the American people, creating thousands of good-paying union jobs in Hinson and Miller-Meeks’ backyard and growing the economy in a way that works better for everyone.
“Yesterday, Ashley Hinson and Mariannette Miller-Meeks proved once again that they would rather take orders from their extreme party bosses than deliver meaningful wins for Iowa,” said DCCC Spokesperson Elena Kuhn. “No thanks to Hinson and Miller-Meeks, Iowans will reap the benefits of this historic investment for years, have access to good-paying jobs, and finally get their roads, bridges, and public transit fixed. If it wasn’t already clear, yesterday’s vote shows Iowa voters they can’t rely on Hinson or Miller-Meeks to deliver.”
