from John Delaney:

I'm proud to announce that I've introduced major bipartisan legislation to rebuild our nation's infrastructure. H.R. 2084, the Partnership to Build America Act will finance $750 billion in needed repairs to our nation's crumbling infrastructure, at no cost to the taxpayer. This legislation will create jobs, improve our quality of life, and make our businesses more competitive for decades to come.

Importantly, 14 Republicans and 14 Democrats have joined me as original cosponsors. You sent me here to work across the aisle to tackle our nation's problems, and that spirit has motivated this legislation.

The bill is attracting considerable support. In an editorial, the Baltimore Sun called my bill "a particularly promising idea" that addresses a national need. On MSNBC's Daily Rundown, the Partnership to Build America Act was profiled as a bipartisan solution.

Please answer our survey question below and let me know what the infrastructure needs are in your community and stay in touch with my office on what Congress can do to help.

Thank you,

John
