I just left the White House

It's the largest climate change investment in US history. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Dear {NAME}, This is a big deal. The infrastructure bill is a once in a generation opportunity to transform our nation, create millions of jobs, and rebuild our roads, bridges, and ports. The Infrastructure and Jobs Plan is also the single largest investment towards combating climate change in our history, with a focus on environmental justice and transitioning towards a carbon0free future. In Virginia alone, we are expected to receive: - $150 million annually for Metro to continue the federal investment in our region's transit system - $738 million to update our water infrastructure and guarantee every Virginian has access to safe, clean drinking water - $386 million for developing and upgrading our airports, including those critical to Northern Virginia - $106 million to expand our network of Electric Vehicle Charger The Biden Infrastructure and Jobs Plan will move us towards a more green, equitable, and just future. I was proud to lead the fight in the House for its passage and have no doubt it will have a positive impact on the lives of every American in our Commonwealth and across our country. [DONATE TODAY →]( Our success today makes it clear - when Democrats win, the American people win. We are delivering on the campaign promises of President Biden and making incredible progress on some of the most pressing issues confronting our nation. Though almost all of my Republican colleagues voted against it, I have no doubt they'll be claiming credit at ribbon cuttings for projects in their districts for years to come. Today was a great day for our country, but Democrats aren't stopping here - next, we are going to pass the equally transformative Build Back Better plan to guarantee Paid Sick and Family Leave, Universal Pre-K, and lift millions of families out of poverty by extending the Child Tax Credit. Continuing this progress depends on us maintaining our very slim majority in the House and Senate in 2022.
