Assessments
Grassley materially advanced and publicly backed the bipartisan infrastructure package in his Senate term, including a yea vote on H.R. 3684 and office statements tying it to Iowa roads, bridges, and broadband. The law passed and Iowa later received related federal funding, so the promise was fulfilled in office rather than merely promised.
Grassley promised bipartisan work on Iowa infrastructure investments, including roads, bridges, and broadband. The evidence shows he supported the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and later tied ongoing Iowa transportation and airport awards to that Grassley-backed law during his Senate term. The BEAD broadband program created by the same federal infrastructure package was also moving through final proposal approval and award stages during his term. Because the promised outcome was to work across party lines on investments, not to personally complete every project, support for and continued advancement of the bipartisan infrastructure law is enough for full delivery.
