passing an infrastructure bill so we can help rebuild roads, bridges, and flood control
Pass an infrastructure bill to rebuild roads, bridges, and flood control.
Occurrences
Evidence
Beth Van Duyne said her top priorities included "passing an infrastructure bill so we can help rebuild roads, bridges, and flood control."
The House passed H.R. 3684, the INVEST in America Act, by 221-201. The roll call shows Van Duyne voted Nay.
Rep. Van Duyne offered H.Amdt.72 to H.R.3684, and the amendment was agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: 230-178 (Roll no. 204).
H.R.3684 became Public Law No. 117-58 on 11/15/2021 and provides new funding for roads, bridges, major projects, water infrastructure, and other infrastructure programs.
Assessments
The promised outcome was to pass an infrastructure bill for roads, bridges, and flood control. H.R. 3684, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, passed and became law during Van Duyne's first term, but she voted against the House passage of the bill. She did make a concrete legislative effort by offering an amendment to H.R. 3684 that was adopted, but that does not fulfill the broader promise to pass the infrastructure bill, especially given her final opposition to the bill itself. Under the rule for serious attempts that fail to deliver the promised outcome, this is 'never' with effort_badge=true.
