“Time for Congress to #PassBothBills”: DC, Maryland congressional leadership joins MWC’s demand10/15/2021
In response to the delayed progress by Congress on President Biden’s Build Back Better Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, local lawmakers – including DC Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, Maryland Representatives Steny Hoyer (MD-5), Anthony Brown (MD-04), Jamie Raskin (MD-08) and John Sarbanes (MD-03) -- released statements today in alliance with the Metro Washington Labor Council. Norton called the bills’ priorities “vital for the country, for our workers, and for the District of Columbia." Hoyer said they’d not only “reinvigorate our economy by creating good-paying jobs, but also make sure our workers are given equal opportunities to get ahead.” Said Brown, “we need to think big and be bold with our policy solutions,” while Raskin said that “we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make transformational investments in our nation’s infrastructure, our environment and working families.” And Sarbanes, like the rest of the lawmakers, pledged to “continue to push in Congress to pass this legislation.”
