Transportation & Infrastructure
Every dollar we invest in infrastructure yields two dollars in economic activity, which is why I am proud to lead the fight for federal investment in New Hampshire’s roads, bridges, and waterways as a member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
I learned the unique needs of New Hampshire’s diverse transportation system while helping write our state’s past three long-term transportation plans. While serving on the Executive Council, I advocated for the expansion of I-93, helped increase investments in paving and bridge repair, and fought for the expansion of passenger rail from the Manchester area to Boston, all of which I continue to champion in Washington.
It is time for Congress to work across the aisle and pass an infrastructure package that invests in rebuilding our nation while improving our state’s economy, public safety, and quality of life.
