This critical bill lays the foundation for greater water security and invests in much-needed energy infrastructure to strengthen and modernize our power grid.
Support legislation that funds modernization of the electric grid and expands energy infrastructure.

Evidence
Official House press release says the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed H.R. 8870, the BUILD America 250 Act, with Rep. Vince Fong’s support; the bill is described as a five-year surface transportation reauthorization measure investing in roads, bridges, rail, and other infrastructure.
Assessments
The available evidence shows Vince Fong supported a major infrastructure reauthorization bill during his current federal term, which partially aligns with the promise to expand energy infrastructure in a broad sense. But the cited bill is described mainly as transportation and public-works investment, and the record provided does not show clear support for legislation specifically funding electric-grid modernization or directly expanding energy infrastructure. That supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
