DELIVERING TRANSFORMATIONAL INVESTMENTS
(Ms. BROWNLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Ms. BROWNLEY. Madam Speaker, from day one, House Democrats have
worked for the people and passed historic legislation to address the
challenges facing our country, and clearly, the American people
resoundingly supported our efforts.
Democrats passed the CHIPS and Science Act that makes significant
investments in American manufacturing, which is the backbone of our
economy and drives job creation.
Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act to lower costs at the
pharmacy counter, in the grocery aisles, and at the gas pump. This
landmark legislation also delivers the most significant action on
climate in history, while reducing the deficit.
Democrats passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to fix
our roads and public transit systems. This is one of the largest
Federal investments in our Nation's infrastructure and is laying the
foundation for strong economic growth by creating millions of good-
paying jobs.
While congressional Republicans play politics at the expense of our
democracy, Democrats remain steadfast in putting people over politics,
and we will continue to deliver transformational investments for
America's working families.
