LEGISLATION TO INVEST IN AMERICA
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. Omar) for 5 minutes.
Ms. OMAR. Madam Speaker, this week we are considering critical legislation to invest in America and Minnesotans. We are investing in childcare, education, healthcare, housing, and so many other basics that my district so desperately needs.
In the Fifth District alone, we secured over $46 million in transportation and community project funding. That includes the skills training for clean energy careers, funding for updated sprinkler systems, a new healthcare clinic on Lake Street, a new park in Brooklyn Center, and so much more.
How we choose to invest our resources is a reflection of our priorities, and we, as House Democrats, are making our priorities clear: American jobs, opportunity, and working families.
