Issue Position

Investment in transportation infrastructure is a paramount duty of government and has a tangible effect on economic growth. The Sixth Congressional District serves as a vital transportation hub with interregional freight corridors, airports, major waterways, rail and commuter lines that move goods and services across the globe. Instead of pet projects and "bridges to nowhere," funding to improve roads, bridges, and highways needs to be targeted and efficient.

Congress must provide certainty to states by providing long-term federal transportation funding for needed infrastructure repairs and improvements. Continuing the capacity expansion of Interstate 94 W Corridor; rail-grade separation and safety improvements along US-10; and supporting transportation initiatives in the district will be my top priorities during the 114th Congress.

Congress must also work to pass Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization to protect our air transportation system, carriers and maintain the safest travel possible.
