"Hey folks, a quick reminder about funding the infrastructure law has already secured for Virginia (THREAD):

Not to mention, all of this (and more):

Unfortunately, a lot of this funding is dependent on Congress passing a comprehensive omnibus bill -- a bill that authorizes funding for new projects. Virginia alone could lose approximately $364 million in roads and bridges funding and $53 million in transit funding.

To make it even more specific, projects like restoring the historic Mayo Bridge in Richmond could miss out on $5 million in funding.

But it's not just infrastructure -- other priorities, like the CDC, DoD, and universities could also lose out. It's critical that we pass a full spending bill and not just more continuing resolutions. I'm going to keep pushing for this."
