Democrats are promising to keep tabs during the 2022 campaign on Republican lawmakers praising projects funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law even though they voted against it.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office
blasted out a compilation of the growing list — and journalists
have also
been taking
note.
Lawmakers like Rep.
Steve Scalise (R-LA),
Clay Higgins (R-LA), Rep.
Kay Granger (R-TX), Rep.
Ashley Hinson (R-IA), Rep.
Michelle Steel (R-CA) and Rep.
Andy Harris (R-MD) have all touted parts of the $14 billion
recently allocated from the law to the Army Corps of Engineers making its way to their districts.
During a recent interview with Yahoo Finance, a senior Democratic official said the mixed messages on infrastructure would definitely come up in negative ads against Republicans during midterm elections. “You’re going to see it,” said Brad Woodhouse, a senior adviser to the Democratic National Committee. He added those ads are going to come from local campaigns as well as "out of Super PACs.”
