President Biden Signs Once-In-A-Generation Investments Lauren Underwood Worked to Pass to Strengthen America’s Infrastructure & Create Millions of Jobs

Today, President Biden signed into law the wildly popular Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that Lauren Underwood worked to pass to deliver real results for families and workers across Illinois.

This infrastructure deal marks the most meaningful action on our nation’s infrastructure in nearly a century, and thanks to the work of President Biden, Lauren Underwood, and Congressional Democrats, families across IL-14 will now be able to directly feel the effects of the bill’s game-changing investments.

From fixing Illinois’ crumbling roads and bridges, easing inflation, providing millions of Americans with good-paying union jobs, ensuring every Illinoisan has access to high speed internet, and delivering clean water, families and workers across the district will see the impacts of this legislation in nearly every corner of their lives.

“This is a historic moment for every person across Illinois, as they can expect to see once-in-a-generation improvements in their local infrastructure that will significantly improve their everyday lives,” said DCCC spokesperson Elena Kuhn. “Voters can thank Lauren Underwood for playing a vital role in delivering these historic wins that will last for generations to come, ease inflation, and ensure thousands of local workers find good-paying jobs.”
