“I understand that our transportation is failing the
Bay Area and that we need radical and immediate
change. It is an honor to join the Transportation
and Infrastructure Committee. As the former
chairman of the California State Senate
Transportation and Housing Committee, I look
forward to continuing to fight for needed
investments in our infrastructure systems to
improve safety, reduce congestion, and create
millions of good-paying jobs. The Transportation
Committee is expected to have a full agenda in the
new Congress, including a robust infrastructure
bill and addressing aviation and surface
transportation needs. I am excited to get right to
work on these and other innovative solutions
that will help strengthen our economy, make us
more competitive, and ensure transparency
and accountability in state and local
infrastructure projects.”
