  • "Our crumbling bridges and highways are in constant need of repair.

In the meantime, our citizens and businesses will need our federal highways (I-5, I-90, I-405, I-82) to help them get where they need to go. I WILL get funding to help alleviate traffic congestion on our highways." (www.susan4senate.com)
