Allred Statement on Build Back Better Act

Statement

Congressman Colin Allred (TX-32) today released the following statement on the Build Back Better Act.

"I'm going to keep fighting for kids and working families struggling to get by, just like mine did growing up. The Build Back Better Agenda has always been about families and our future and we can't give up now.

"This legislation would finally deliver on lowering prescription drug prices and expanding coverage to the nearly 1 million Texans who have been denied access to care because of our state's refusal to expand Medicaid. It also makes a transformative investment in the next generation of Americans and supports working families.

"If we've learned anything from the past two years battling this pandemic, it's that we have to make health care accessible to every American and we must do better to support kids and working families.

"The Build Back Better Agenda is a bold, needed investment in our nation and will set us on the path to tackle the climate crisis, create jobs and lead the world for decades to come. Too much is at stake to give up. I will never stop working to ensure North Texans have the tools they need to chase their version of the American dream."
