Statement of the Center Majority of America on the $1.2 Trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Bill that Passed the U.S. Senate on August 10, 2021

We in the Center Majority of America Support the Bipartisan work of President Biden & U.S. Senators in passing the $1.2 trillion bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, passed by the Senate on August 10, 2021. We applaud the bipartisan support for those efforts by the Bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives.

It is encouraging that since 2017, the Bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus now composed of 56 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, including an equal number of Republicans and Democrats, has functioned as “an independent member-driven group in Congress, … committed to finding common ground on many of the key issues facing the nation.”

As stated on their website,

“[Their] aim is to create a durable bloc that champions ideas that appeal to a broad spectrum of the American people. It is a group united in the idea that there are commonsense solutions to many of the country’s toughest challenges. Only when we work together as Americans can we successfully break through the gridlock of today’s politics.”

The Problem Solvers Caucus worked closely with their U.S. Senate allies over several months to help turn the bipartisan infrastructure framework proposed by President Biden and developed by a bipartisan group of Senators into the $1.2 trillion bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that passed the Senate in a bipartisan vote (69 to 30) on August 10.

In a Statement released August 10, Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chairs Josh Gottheimer (D – NJ) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R – PA) said,

“We applaud Senators on both sides of the aisle for their leadership and commitment to building consensus on a historic package that invests in our nation’s physical infrastructure needs. This legislation will create jobs, enhance economic growth and competitiveness, improve the health and safety of the American people, and modernize our infrastructure for the 21st century, without raising taxes.”

“This will deliver a win for every American and show the nation, and world, that we have Members in both parties who are united in working together to solve problems in Washington.”

We, the Center Majority of Americans,
are a Cross-Party Unity & Problem Solvers Coalition of the People!

By electing more Center Majority representatives & senators in both Parties,
we can strengthen and help create more groups like the Problem Solvers Caucus
in both the House & the Senate, as well as in State Legislatures, and support their important work for the American People.
