Rep. Chris Miller (R-Oakland) and five of his colleagues in the Illinois House met Wednesday with Congressman Rodney Davis (IL-13) and Assistant U.S. House Whip Lisa Blunt Rochester (Delaware) to discuss the infrastructure plan being proposed by President Trump. The current estimate is a $2 trillion investment to upgrade highways, railroads, bridges, and broadband across the United States.
“I am encouraged by the pro-growth economic policies coming out of President Trump’s Administration,” commented Rep. Chris Miller, a member of the Economic Opportunity & Equity Committee. “I’d like to thank Congressman Davis and Congresswoman Blunt Rochester for meeting with us and appreciate the opportunity to advocate for my area for some of the funding that we anticipate could be as much as $400 billion for Illinois.”
Congressman Davis serves on the
House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure and is the Ranking
Member of the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, and he also serves on the
Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials.
Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester sits on the House Committee on Energy and
Commerce that has broad jurisdiction over health care, the environment, commerce
and trade, energy policy, telecommunications, manufacturing, and consumer
protection.
