Capito Attends White House Bill Signing of Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

Statement

U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, today joined President Joe Biden at the White House as he signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which the Senate passed this summer and the House passed earlier this month. Senator Capito released the below statement following the event:

"The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act reflects our commitment to keeping Americans safe, improving our global competitiveness, and growing our economy. It also includes significant wins that will benefit West Virginia. This bill will upgrade roads and bridges; address aging water and wastewater systems; support our airports and ports; and connect rural America with broadband infrastructure in order to finally close the digital divide. As Ranking Member of the EPW Committee, I'm especially proud my committee's surface transportation reauthorization bill and water and wastewater infrastructure bill are the foundation of this package. I was proud to witness the signing into law of this important piece of legislation--which marks the culmination of a process that began months ago during my negotiations with President Biden. This historic, bipartisan legislation will deliver transformative wins for West Virginia and the rest of the nation for decades to come."
