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.
