Investing in our infrastructure is how we keep our economy moving. Billions of dollars of freight and goods move through our region, as do hundreds of thousands of workers. They all depend on safe roads, bridges and transit.
Invest in infrastructure, including safe roads, bridges, and transit.

"I will work to deliver these important federal resources."
Representatives Suzan DelBene (WA-01) and Seth Moulton (MA-06) introduced the American High Speed Rail Act, which would invest $200 billion over five years to build a world-class high-speed passenger rail system.
These 20 projects would improve services, make communities safer, and create jobs by investing in critical programs to strengthen Washington's 1st Congressional District and the region... and I will work to deliver these important federal resources.
Evidence
DelBene nominated 20 projects in Washington’s 1st Congressional District for FY27 funding, including road and trail upgrades, water infrastructure projects, a bridge replacement, transit center expansion, and transportation assistance fleet replacement. The release says the House and Senate must still agree on the FY27 government funding process before the projects are ultimately approved.
Assessments
DelBene took concrete same-term action to advance infrastructure investment by nominating district projects for FY27 federal funding, including roads, trails, water infrastructure, bridge replacement, transit center expansion, and transportation fleet replacement. However, the cited projects had not yet been enacted or finally funded because the FY27 appropriations process still required House and Senate agreement. This supports partial credit for material effort, not full delivery of the promised infrastructure investments.
