Senator Stabenow Statement on Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill Passing the House of Representatives

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) released this statement following the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in the U.S. House of Representatives, a bipartisan bill that will make major investments in the nation’s infrastructure and create millions of good-paying jobs.

This bill will also make the largest single investment ever in the Great Lakes, expand high-speed internet, invest in electric vehicles, and strengthen our Buy American laws. The bill passed the U.S. Senate on August 10^th and you can find more information on the bill here.

“We are one step closer to President Biden signing a historic bill to rebuild and modernize America. There is so much in here of critical importance to Michigan—from rebuilding roads and bridges, to the removal of lead pipes, to high-speed internet in every corner of Michigan, to the largest single investment ever made in the Great Lakes. I am also extremely pleased that my legislation to strengthen Buy American laws is included, to ensure that American tax dollars are spent on American products and services.”
