Chabot votes against once-in-a-generation investment that will rebuild Ohio’s infrastructure and create millions of good-paying jobs
Yesterday, Rep. Steve Chabot tried to deny a huge win for Ohioans by voting “NO” on the wildly popular bipartisan 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.
If it were up to Steve Chabot, workers and families across Ohio’s First District would have lost out on this once-in-a-generation investment to fix their crumbling roads and bridges and rebuild their communities to be even stronger.
This infrastructure package is the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure and competitiveness in nearly a century, and thanks to House Democrats, people across the country will feel the effects of this legislation for generations to come.
While Chabot followed his party leaders and extremist House Republicans in voting “NO” on this legislation that a majority of the American people support, 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 Steve Chabot’s backyard and growing the economy in a way that works better for everyone.
“Yesterday, Steve Chabot proved once again that he would rather take orders from his radical party bosses than deliver meaningful wins for Ohio’s First District,” said DCCC Spokesperson Abel Iraola. “No thanks to Steve Chabot, Ohioans will reap the benefits of this historic investment for years, have access to good-paying jobs, and finally get their roads, bridges, and public transit fixed. If it wasn’t already clear, yesterday’s vote shows voters in Ohio’s First can’t rely on Steve Chabot to deliver.”
