Issue Position: Infrastructure

Issue Position

I'll push for an unprecedented American infrastructure program that includes big, overdue investments in transportation and transit, clean energy, energy efficiency, public health, communications, research and development, emergency response, and environmental cleanup.

These investments will create job training and employment opportunities for millions of American workers and demand for products made by American businesses. They will revitalize our economy and lay the foundations for decades of prosperity, environmental sustainability, and health.

Infrastructure is often taken for granted. It includes energy production and the grid, transit, roads, bridges, tunnels, rail, aviation, ports and waterways, communications, cybersecurity, water treatment and distribution, housing, and public health.

Upgraded infrastructure will make life safer and more convenient, support commerce, attract investment, protect our environment, and improve our health.

Strong, advanced infrastructure is also essential for resilient and effective emergency response -- whether pandemic, natural disaster, national security, or the totally unexpected.

Money spent on infrastructure is truly an investment in America, with positive returns across the entire economy and dramatic improvements to our quality of life.
