WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) today released the following statement on the House path forward for the Build Back Better Act and the bipartisan infrastructure bill:

“Today’s action by the House begins the hard work of enacting what I believe will be among the most consequential legislation Congress has considered since the Great Society. This watershed bill will provide aid to working families, resources to fight the climate crisis, and tools for job creation and health care access that will remake millions of lives for the better. The American people elected President Biden and this Congress to lift the nation up and give working families a fair shot. We are close to that goal and I will work hard to get this legislation to the President’s desk to fulfill our promises.”
