Over
the Easter break, I held Q&As in 24 counties to hear what’s on the minds of
Iowans.
It’s
my constituent’s agenda, not my agenda that we discuss.
From
my cattle market transparency bill to the second amendment, COVID-19 vaccines
and the crisis at our southern border, Iowans are always up-to-date on the
issues most important to them.
One
prominent question: “why can’t you guys get along?”
In
other words, why is there not more bipartisanship?
Iowans
want Congress to work in a bipartisan way to enhance our nation’s
infrastructure through increased funding for roads, bridges, highways,
waterways and rural broadband.
Unfortunately,
what I’ve heard so far about President Biden’s plan is that it’s everything but
the kitchen sink and not enough focus on infrastructure.
Iowans
expect us to work in a bipartisan way and I hope Democrats will agree to work
together this time, unlike the passage of the last 1.9 trillion dollar bill.
