Congressman Cohen Urges Republican Colleagues to Support Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill

WASHINGTON - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) went to the House floor this evening to urge his Congressional colleagues to support the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) already passed in the Senate. Congressman Cohen has repeatedly pointed to the positive impacts this bill will have on Memphis and nationwide from economic growth, increased labor participation, and enhanced U.S. competitiveness.

In his floor remarks, Congressman Cohen said in part:

"What people should not forget is that we need to vote for the bipartisan infrastructure bill that's got 17 Republicans on it from the Senate. I've broken with my Progressive Caucus to vote for it because it creates jobs and it's the right thing for America. And my Republican colleagues should break from their caucus and commit to voting for the bipartisan infrastructure bill."
