ODP Chair Walters Applauds Senate Passage Of Landmark Infrastructure Investment And Jobs Act
August 10, 2021
Columbus, OH — Ohio Democratic Party Chair Liz Walters released the following statement today following landmark passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in the U.S. Senate. President Biden and U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown helped negotiate the package, which will create jobs in Ohio and provide critical investments for infrastructure projects around the state:
“While every Ohio Republican running for U.S. Senate opposes this historic plan to create more jobs right here in Ohio, Senator Brown worked to deliver one of the boldest infrastructure plans in our lifetime that will invest in our roads, bridges, clean water, and high-speed internet. The plan will grow our economy and support our local communities while ensuring that no one making less than $400,000 a year will pay more taxes. Yet, Ohio Republicans oppose this plan because they only care about their wealthy corporate special interest donors instead of what is best for working families in Ohio.”
