ICYMI: Chair Hoyer, Members of the Regional Leadership Council Deliver Updates on the Implementation of President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda

WASHINGTON, DC – Chair Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) and Members of the Regional Leadership Council (RLC) delivered remarks on the House Floor this week to highlight the progress of the Investing in America agenda. Enacted by House Democrats and the Biden-Harris administration last Congress, this transformational agenda includes the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the Honoring Our PACT Act, and others.  

Members highlighted how these investments are directly impacting families across the nation’s 12 diverse regions, rebuilding the middle class, and giving hardworking Americans the tools they need to get ahead.

"While Republicans remain frozen in their own dysfunction, House Democrats are hard at work ensuring every American knows about the transformational investments we made in the last Congress,” said Chair Steny H. Hoyer. “House Democrats are rebuilding the middle class, lowering costs, and growing the American economy for years to come. The RLC is at the forefront of that effort. The American people expect results from their elected leaders. Democrats delivered with the Investing in America agenda, and our twelve exceptional Regional Leaders are ensuring these new opportunities reach every community in the country. Whether it’s capping the cost of insulin, connecting more Americans to affordable high-speed internet, or creating jobs that will strengthen local infrastructure, I look forward to continued partnership with the Biden-Harris Administration as we provide communities with the resources and tools they need to Make It In America." 

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries created the Regional Leadership Council in January 2023 and appointed Congressman Hoyer to serve as its Chair. In addition to Congressman Hoyer, the council consists of twelve Members who each represent one of the United States' twelve regions. The council is working to ensure that Americans in every corner of the country and in every zip code can access the opportunities created by the historic policies that Democrats secured in the 117th Congress.
