                          SPREADING GOOD NEWS

  (Mr. CARTWRIGHT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Madam Speaker, over the last 2 months since we passed 
the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs

[[Page H347]]

Act, House Democrats have been spreading the good news.
  In fact, we have had over 1,000 events across this Nation where House 
Democrats bring home to Americans what we have done with the 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, strengthening our water systems 
and sewer systems, rebuilding our roads and our bridges.
  We just had a catastrophic bridge failure in Pittsburgh that brings 
home the need to do these things.
  Expanding broadband internet into the rural places that need them the 
most, this is a wonderful thing that is highlighting the fact that 
Democrats delivered with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
  That is not the wonder, Madam Speaker. The wonder in all of this is 
that we had 200 House Republicans voting no, voting against investing 
in America and helping our companies and our country compete with 
China, Europe, and places abroad.
  They voted no. They voted against infrastructure, and they need to 
explain why.
