Yesterday, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez delivered a huge win for South Texans by passing President Biden and House Democrats’ wildly popular 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.
Thanks to Rep. Gonzalez, workers and families across the Rio Grande Valley can expect a once-in-a-generation investment to fix their crumbling roads and bridges and rebuild their communities to be even stronger.
While extremist House Republicans overwhelmingly voted “NO” on this legislation that a majority of the American people support, Rep. Gonzalez and 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 their backyard and growing the economy in a way that works better for everyone.
“Yesterday, House Democrats like Vicente Gonzalez proved once again that he would keep his promise to deliver meaningful wins for Texans,” said DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson. “From jobs, to broadband, to clean water, and better roads, workers and families across Texas will feel the effects of this historic investment for years to come, and voters can be proud of the historic work Vicente Gonzalez accomplished to improve their lives.”
