Today, Congressman Ro Khanna (CA-17), Deputy Whip for the Congressional Progressive Caucus, released the following statement on the America COMPETES Act of 2022:

"The America COMPETES Act is a bold and ambitious bill that will invest in technology, create millions of jobs, and ensure we remain the world's leader in science and technology in the 21st century. We haven't seen this level of science and technology funding since the Cold War and this is the first time that there is a plan for distributing the benefits across the country.

I'm pleased to see that the bill includes key provisions inspired by the Endless Frontier Act that I introduced in the House last year with Majority Leader Schumer, Senator Young, and Rep. Gallagher. This will set us on the path to creating an economy that works for everyone while boosting our ability to compete against China. I look forward to its swift passage in the House."
