Burchett statement on vote against sloppy $1 trillion infrastructure package

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nov. 5, 2021) – Tonight, U.S. Representative Tim Burchett (TN-02) released the following statement after voting against H.R. 3684:

"Speaker Pelosi is no longer fit to run the House of Representatives after wasting hours of valuable floor time this week. Instead of scheduling votes to demagnetize our southern border or bring back American energy independence, Pelosi brought up this sloppy and expensive infrastructure measure. The only thing that is bipartisan about this bill is the name. It completely ignores infrastructure needs in purple and red states, but finances woke environmental priorities in big Democrat cities. Congress missed a real opportunity to deliver results to the entire country, and I voted against this fraudulent legislation that treats Tennessee like flyover country."
