Infrastructure and Transportation

Colorado is the nation’s 8th largest state, extending nearly 300 miles from north to south and nearly 400 miles from east to west. $323 billion in goods are shipped to and from Colorado annually. 75% of these goods are carried by our great American truckers on Colorado roads. Colorado’s transportation infrastructure supports 77,308 full-time jobs and $3.4 billion annually. To support our booming state, we need infrastructure and sound economic policies.

While Pelosi and Biden's multi-trillion-dollar spending package falsely labeled “infrastructure” did nothing but increase inflation, I introduced a responsible and effective infrastructure solution. Less than 10% of their $1.2 trillion so-called "infrastructure bill" went to roads and bridges. The bill provided tens of billions of dollars for Solyndra-style slush funds, Green New Deal policies, electric buses, and government welfare. In contrast,

100% of my America’s Infrastructure Modernization (AIM) Act goes to actual infrastructure projects. My bill is a targeted, efficient infrastructure plan that works for America. The AIM Act would reallocate $650 billion of the remaining $2.2 trillion of unspent COVID funds to build roads, bridges, airports, ports, and other real infrastructure projects. There is no reason to increase taxes and waste trillions of dollars on a leftist wish list when we have the ability to deliver real infrastructure results for the American people without raising their taxes or increasing federal spending.

Living in rural Colorado, I know the unique infrastructure challenges our communities face. I have your back in Congress, and I am working hard to deliver tangible victories for the District.

For my work on infrastructure issues, I received a 100% score from the Associated Builders and Contractors.
