BUILDING BACK BETTER NOW AND FOR THE FUTURE
(Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to discuss the jobs
created by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
By passing this historic piece of legislation, we have set in motion
adding two million jobs a year for the American people. High-paying,
stable jobs filled by skilled, union, American workers.
These are the jobs that hold families together. They put everyday
people in control of their future for themselves and for their
children.
We are building the roads, bridges, high-speed internet, ports, and
airports we need. We are strengthening our frail electric grid.
We are building back better now and for the next generation to come,
for all our children.
