Today, President Biden signed into law the wildly popular bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that Democrats worked to pass to deliver real results for families and workers across Iowa. But you won’t see Reps. Ashley Hinson and Mariannette Miller-Meeks celebrating this historic accomplishment — because they sided with party bosses and voted against the once-in-a-generation investment that will strengthen America’s infrastructure and create millions of jobs.
This infrastructure deal marks the largest and most meaningful action on our nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness in nearly a century. Despite Hinson and Miller-Meeks’ reckless opposition, thanks to the work of President Biden and Congressional Democrats, families across Iowa will now be able to directly feel the effects of the bill’s game-changing investments.
From fixing Iowa’s crumbling roads and bridges, easing inflation, providing millions of Americans with good-paying union jobs, ensuring every Iowan has access to high speed internet, delivering clean water to homes and schools, modernizing public transit, and helping save our environment from the climate crisis, families and workers across Eastern Iowa will see the impacts of this legislation in nearly every corner of their lives.
“If Ashley Hinson and Mariannette Miller-Meeks had their way, our nation’s crumbling infrastructure would continue to fall into disrepair,” said DCCC spokesperson Elena Kuhn. “Hinson and Miller-Meeks already proved that they would rather side with party bosses than deliver wins for Iowa. The signing of this once-in-a-generation legislation serves as a reminder that while Democrats are delivering, voters cannot rely on Hinson nor Miller-Meeks to do the same.”
