Congressman Veasey (TX-33) Votes on Historic Package to Deliver Transformative Change for Texans

Statement

Congressman Veasey (TX-33) today voted for the Build Back Better Act (H.R. 5376). The package is a once-in-a-generation package to lower the everyday costs that burden working families -- from health care to child care and more. In addition, the package includes Veasey-led priorities to close the coverage gap by expanding Medicaid, fortify Texas's power grid, and invest in local clean energy initiatives. Together, the Build Back Better Act and the bipartisan infrastructure bill will create an estimated average of 2 million jobs each year over the decade.

"Texans from all backgrounds and walks of life will benefit from the Build Back Better Act," said Congressman Veasey. "This legislation will deliver transformational action to provide families with a middle-class tax cut, expand access to health care, fight climate change, create jobs, and so much more. I am proud to join my colleagues to vote on this once-in-a-generation package that will deliver results for our constituents in communities across the country.'
