I urge all of my colleagues to support this bill when it reaches the House floor.
Support the BUILD America 250 Act to invest in local infrastructure, improve transportation safety, create jobs, build more housing near transit hubs, and increase bridge repair and replacement funding.
Occurrences
Strickland said, 'The BUILD America 250 Act is a smart investment in local communities as they build, repair, and replace critical infrastructure.'
Evidence
Strickland said the committee-passed BUILD America 250 Act is a smart investment in local communities that build, repair, and replace critical infrastructure.
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved H.R. 8870 after a 14-hour markup; the bill invests in roads, bridges, transit, rail safety, and an autonomous commercial motor vehicle framework.
Assessments
The promise is to support the BUILD America 250 Act, not to ensure final enactment. The evidence shows Marilyn Strickland publicly backed the bill and claimed local infrastructure provisions in it during her current House term, and the bill advanced through the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on May 22, 2026. That is direct, office-relevant action demonstrating support and material advancement of the measure, so this counts as delivered in the same term.
