Issue Position: Infrastructure

Issue Position

America's infrastructure requires adequate, timely, and extensive investment. As policy experts point to our infrastructure system as our next national crisis, we must pursue plans to rebuild America's roads, highways, and bridges without breaking the bank. Furthermore, we must bring tax dollars home, so that local jurisdictions can provide for their infrastructure and transportation needs.

In Congress, I will pursue the following infrastructure priorities for Maryland's 6th District:

1. Secure funding to significantly improve the traffic situation on I-81 in Washington County

2. Lead a bipartisan, multi-organization commission to find various solutions for I-270, a project that is long overdue

3. Improve, upgrade, and connect Route 219 and Route 220 of the North/South Appalachian Highway Project at I-68
4. Return federal and state tax dollars to counties and municipalities so that local decision-makers can adequately plan and provide for projects at home

Rebuilding and reinvesting in America's infrastructure system will not only relieve some of the district's largest transportation needs, but it will also create jobs, encourage tourism, and invigorate the 6th District's economy.

We need policy proposals that clearly identify infrastructure objectives, not the long-shot tax-and-spend solutions proposed by Congressman John Delaney.
