Capito: We Need To Focus On Core Infrastructure

WASHINGTON, D.C. โ€“ U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, today hosted a press conference along with Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) focused on infrastructure. During the press conference, Senator Capito and her Republican colleagues mapped out what a real bipartisan infrastructure package should look like

HIGHLIGHTS:DEFINING INFRASTRUCTURE: โ€œI think itโ€™s important to define what infrastructure is because I think what we saw from the presidentโ€™s $2.2 trillion packageโ€”his definition of infrastructure is a lot different than what mine isโ€”although there are a lot of similarities.โ€

HISTORY OF BIPARTISANSHIP: โ€œIโ€™m working with Senator Carper every day to try to get a bipartisan surface transportation bill, but thatโ€™s not the only thing that I think will be a part. Thatโ€™s our roads and bridges, our core infrastructure that all of us in our states want. Through the years weโ€™ve come together in bipartisan way and negotiated these bills time and time again.โ€

FINDING THAT SWEET SPOT: โ€œBut we are very different I think when you look at what core infrastructure means to you. I said roads and bridges, I also mean water and wastewater projects, our airport modernizations, broadband is a huge part of thatโ€ฆI characterized it yesterday as our โ€˜sweet spot.โ€™ I think thatโ€™s the sweet spot of where we can join together, and the American people can actually see us negotiate a package where we all believe very strongly in devoting resources, time, and effort into modernizing infrastructure across the country.โ€
