Transportation and Infrastructure is a historically bipartisan committee in the House of Representatives. Unfortunately, House Democrats and the Biden Administration have decided otherwise this week.
I traveled to D.C. for a markup on transportation bills. The markup, beginning at 10 a.m., stretched to 5 a.m. the next morning and hardly any amendments offered by Republicans were approved, including a few of my own.
While these circumstances are frustrating, I am hopeful that my colleagues and I can work together in future markups for bipartisan solutions that will benefit communities across the country. There is a lot of work to be done, and I am confident we can find common ground.
