Today, Congressman Salud Carbajal (CA-24) marked the third anniversary of the signing of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law with remarks promising to protect its programs in the second Trump Administration.

“Either out of misguided policy priorities, or merely out of revenge; I know that there are many in this chamber who have expressed eagerness to dismantle these programs,” said Rep. Carbajal. “We have already been calling out people who voted no but still took the dough. Now we need to be ready to highlight how efforts to undermine these laws would harm middle class families.”

Since its passage in 2021, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has delivered more than $1 billion in funding to projects up and down the Central Coast of California. This summer, Rep. Carbajal toured some of those projects while touting the nine-figure milestone.

Rep. Carbajal helped write and pass the landmark law, the largest infrastructure investment in nearly a century, with the Biden-Harris Administration through his role as a senior member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

Congressman Carbajal’s full remarks as prepared for delivery can be found below:

“Mister Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the third anniversary of the landmark Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which has delivered one billion dollars and 13,000 jobs in my district.

I see the ways this legislation is helping our communities. That is why I’m committed to protecting it in the next Administration.

Either out of misguided policy priorities, or merely out of revenge; I know that there are many in this chamber who have expressed eagerness to dismantle these programs. 

We have already been calling out people who voted no but still took the dough. Now we need to be ready to highlight how efforts to undermine these laws would harm middle class families.

In my role on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I will work to protect our landmark achievements every single day. 

And I will happily remind my colleagues – who may suddenly embrace government spending again under President Trump – who is really to thank for their community’s improved quality of life.”
