July 19, 2021 the Honorable Charles E. Schumer the Honorable Nancy July 19, 2021 The Honorable Charles E. Schumer The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker United States Senate U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Republican Leader Republican Leader United States Senate U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Majority Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, Republican Leader McConnell and Republican Leader McCarthy: The leadership of the National League of Cities (NLC), representing America’s 19,000 cities, towns and villages, calls on Congress to pass a comprehensive infrastructure package this summer that rebuilds with us at the ground level and helps to drive our nation’s economic recovery. We ask for your support to pass an infrastructure package that streamlines investment directly to the local level and eliminates inefficient bureaucratic processes and puts every dollar to use quickly and efficiently. Infrastructure is a job worth doing, and local governments are ready to put in the work to rebuild America’s infrastructure. America’s cities, towns and villages are ready for Congress to come through with infrastructure programs that partner with local governments to get projects done. We can invest together in transportation, water, broadband and workforce training to keep America moving and create local jobs. We are asking Congress to address: 1. Transportation – Use all new transportation investments to leverage the local and regional efforts to build the modern, safe and technology-forward goals our residents are asking for. 2. Water – Provide financing, funding and flexibility to meet the nation’s growing drinking water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure needs and address the impacts of climate change. 3. Broadband – Provide new financing and funding for broadband infrastructure, adoption and affordability that directly reaches communities of all sizes and remove state legal barriers to local broadband decision-making. 4. Workforce – Invest in skills training, including short-term occupational training and on-the-job training, that will support a local talent pipeline in building, rebuilding and maintaining our critical American infrastructure. The National League of Cities is ready to work with Congress to rebuild and maintain America’s infrastructure from the ground up. If you have any questions or want to discuss these proposals, you may reach out to the NLC Federal Advocacy team at [email protected]. Sincerely, National League of Cities Kathy Maness, Carroll L.

    July 22, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives 1236 Longworth House Office Building 2468 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Chuck Schumer The Honorable Mitch McConnell Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate 322 Hart Senate Office Building 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, Leader McCarthy and Leader McConnell: As civil rights and voting advocacy organizations, we write to urge your support of critical election infrastructure funding in the funding packages Congress will consider this summer. Earlier this month, over 300 local election officials, mayors, and Secretaries of State sent bipartisan letters highlighting the need for election infrastructure funding. As the individuals and leaders closest to the administration of fair and secure elections, they have collectively called for federal support in meeting the immense needs they face. We write to add our voices to that important ask. Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. As you know, we stand firmly in support of Congress’ ongoing efforts to ensure that all Americans have access to the ballot. We believe that sufficiently funding election infrastructure will be essential to implementing these policy changes. Elections are one of America’s most locally-run tasks, administered by local officials who commit long hours to ensuring that elections are fair and secure. Election officials are often required to make difficult decisions due to inadequate funding—such as consolidating polling places, using outdated technology, or hiring fewer staff.
