It’s fitting that my first district visit after we passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal was @LIUNA's Michigan Laborers Training & Apprenticeship Institute — where they train the folks who will be doing the hard work of rebuilding our roads, bridges, and water infrastructure. 
The bipartisan infrastructure deal’s huge impact is going to be felt by our workers & across our state: $7 billion for roads & bridges, $1.3 billion to improve our water infrastructure, & $100 million to expand Michigan’s broadband access, especially to our rural communities.
The best part? This package will create tens of thousands of good-paying, union jobs in our state that can't be outsourced. The scale of this investment in Michigan's infrastructure is something our parents & grandparents never saw, & the economic impact is going to be enormous.
I fought to make sure the bill included strong "Buy American" provisions & prevailing wage requirements, & that's why this is going to strengthen the middle class while putting Michiganders all over the state back to work.
