  • October 1, 2015 Texas Congressional Republicans Rayburn House Office
    October 1, 2015 Texas Congressional Republicans Rayburn House Office Building United States House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 AN OPEN LETTER TO THE TEXAS REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL HOUSE DELEGATION Dear Representative, Like the rest of the nation, last Friday I was surprised to learn of Speaker of the House John Boehner’s imminent resignation from Congress. As you are aware, Boehner revealed he had originally intended to serve as Speaker for only two terms, but after the stunning grassroots defeat of Majority Leader Eric Cantor, he decided to remain in the position through the end of this year. However, in order to prevent greater damage from further "prolonged leadership turmoil," Boehner changed his plans yet again and will be resigning at the end of October. Millions of voters in Texas and across the nation have been in a state of 'prolonged turmoil' since the election of President Obama in 2008. As evidence of the strong displeasure with the direction the President has taken the country, voters have elected a strong Republican majority in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate during the midterm elections of both of his terms. Unfortunately, to their chagrin, little has changed after these sweeping electoral victories. The grassroots—of which I include myself—are extremely frustrated at the lack of action on any number of conservative public policy priorities in D.C. The voters did not elect conservative Republicans in 2010 and 2014 to stand by idly as their leaders engaged in the politics of surrender. Speaker Boehner's resignation is a direct result of the very same grassroots wave that swept him into power.

  • May 11, 2020 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Kevin
    May 11, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy, We are writing in support of the calls for a $49.95 billion infusion of federal funding to state departments of Transportation (DOTs) in the next COVID-19 response legislation. Our transportation system is essential to America’s economic recovery, but it is facing an immediate need as the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacts states’ transportation revenues. With negotiations for the next COVID-19 relief package underway, we write to convey our strong support that future legislation includes a provision to address the needs of highway and bridge projects. With millions of Americans following “stay-at-home” orders, many state governments are facing losses in revenues across the board. These State DOTs are not exempt from these losses but operate with unique funding circumstances by having their own revenue shortfalls. Projections are showing decreases in state motor fuel tax and toll receipts as vehicle traffic declines by 50 percent in most parts of the country due to work and travel restrictions. An estimated 30 percent average decline in state DOTs’ revenue is forecasted over the next 18 months. Some state DOTs could experience losses as high as 45 percent. Due to these grim realities, some states are unable to make contract commitments for basic operations such as salt and sand purchases for winter operations. Both short-term and long-term transportation projects that were previously set to move forward are being delayed, putting construction jobs at risk.

    April 14, 2021 The Honorable Peter DeFazio The Honorable Sam Graves Chairman Ranking Member House Transpiration and Infrastructure House Transpiration and Infrastructure Committee Committee 2134 Rayburn House Office Building 1135 Longworth House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Graves: As you seek recommendations on policy priorities for a surface transportation reauthorization bill, we write to express our strong opposition to Project Labor Agreement (PLA) mandates and enthusiastic support for a fair and open competitive bidding process. Government-mandated PLAs pose a serious threat to our nation’s workers and small construction businesses that are recovering from economic upheaval due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, 87.3% of the U.S. construction workforce does not belong to a union. Mandating PLAs would prevent qualified contractors from fairly competing for contracts on taxpayer-funded projects. These mandates also deny critical construction jobs to local workers and small businesses. The Fair and Open Competition Act (FOCA, H.R. 1284) would guarantee the best value for hardworking taxpayers through a fair and open bidding process for federal construction projects. Notably, FOCA prevents federal mandates for PLAs, but also ensures federal agencies can still award contracts to businesses that voluntarily enter into a PLA. Over 25 states have enacted measures that ensure accountability, oversight, and a fact-based decision making process that will lead to better investment in local infrastructure and the creation of more construction industry jobs, a vital part of economic recovery. These state laws curb waste and favoritism in the procurement of construction projects and ensure responsible management of taxpayer dollars.
