Transportation

The issue of Transportation is important to our district and to my work in Congress.

I believe that infrastructure is a legitimate government function. However, we must do a better job of prioritizing existing funding and stop the waste we have seen in recent years. I am aware of the importance of a long-term reauthorization bill for economic stability in our state and nation and I will work to make sure that our needs are met.

H.R. 743, The Davis-Bacon Repeal Act: I am currently a cosponsor of the David-Bacon Repeal Act, which requires that the locally prevailing wage rate be paid to various classes of laborers and mechanics working under federally-financed or federally-assisted contracts for construction, alteration, and repair of public buildings or public works. The bill states that references in any law to a wage requirement of the Davis-Bacon Act after enactment of this bill shall be null and void.

For more information concerning my work and views on the issue of Transportation, please contact my Washington, DC office.

I look forward to your feedback.

Thank you.
