Rep. Don Bacon Voted “No,” Took the Dough on Key Infrastructure and Jobs Investments

Voters in NE-02 deserve better than a hypocrite who votes against their own community

Vulnerable Republican Rep. Don Bacon 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 Rep. Bacon’s district at his own request.

Take a look at where the investments that Rep. Bacon voted against will be headed:

  • $20 million in funding to upgrade the traffic control system across Omaha, NE

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

“Rep. Bacon is so out-of-touch with his district that he is repeatedly voting against needed investments in his community in an attempt to score cheap political points,” said DCCC Spokesperson Johanna Warshaw. “Families in Nebraska have Democrats to thank for the good-paying jobs and much-needed infrastructure investments headed their way — not Rep. Bacon, who stood against them when it counted.”
