Infrastructure and Transportation

Reliable and safe infrastructure drives economic growth and is vital to our communities. One of my top priorities is making sure that Illinois receives its fair share of federal resources, especially funding to strengthen our state’s transportation infrastructure.

Smart investments in infrastructure yield very large returns on investment for the federal taxpayer. Underinvestment in infrastructure is detrimental to economic growth and job creation. I believe it is critical that we continue to invest in infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and railways, to support efficiency and safety.

In 2021, I was proud to vote for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law - the largest investment in American infrastructure in decades - and I am proud that thanks to that law, Illinois communities, including those in IL-11 are receiving much-needed funding to improve transportation infrastructure.
