Rep. Chabot Voted No, Took the Dough on Key Infrastructure and Jobs Investments

Voters in Ohio’s First District deserve better than a hypocrite who votes against their own community

Vulnerable Republican Rep. Steve Chabot once again voted no and took the dough by voting against the landmark INVEST Act, which contains critical investments in infrastructure and job creation, including millions directly for Chabot’s district at his own request.

Take a look at where the investments that Rep. Chabot voted against would be headed:

  • $15,000,000 for Western Hills Viaduct Replacement Project in Cincinnati, OH
  • $8,640,000 for Brent Spence Corridor Bridge (HAM–75–1.95) in Cincinnati, OH

When Rep. Chabot is home in the district this recess, don’t be surprised if he spends time touting the very investments he just voted against. Just like when he voted against direct relief funds for his community in the American Rescue Plan, Rep. Chabot voted no but was all too happy to take the dough.

“Rep. Chabot is so out-of-touch with his district that he repeatedly votes against needed investments in his community in an attempt to score cheap political points,” said DCCC Spokesperson Abel Iraola. “Families in Ohio’s First District have Democrats to thank for the good-paying jobs and much-needed infrastructure investments headed their way — but not Steve Chabot, who stood against them when it counted.”
