Regional Leadership Council Discusses Successful Implementation of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America Agenda with White House Officials
WASHINGTON, DC – Members of the Regional Leadership Council (RLC) and its chair, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05), recently held their fourth meeting at the White House to discuss the impact of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda in their local communities. Participants in the meeting included White House Deputy Chief of Staff Natalie Quillian, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo, and Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Legislative Affairs Shuwanza Goff.
During the meeting, Chair Hoyer and the RLC’s representatives shared recent testimonials and stories describing how the Investing in America agenda is lowering costs – from capping the price of insulin at $35 per month for seniors to lowering the cost of tax filing by $5.6 million. The RLC continues to inform the American people about the historic accomplishments of the Investing in America agenda. Chair Hoyer also highlighted the progress that the RLC made through previous meetings with Administration officials and shared how the Council and the Biden-Harris Administration can continue their close coordination going forward.
"As inflation continues to cool and the job market continues to grow, House Democrats and Biden-Harris Administration remain in lockstep to make sure that the American people know how their tax dollars are fueling a great American comeback," said Chair Steny H. Hoyer. "I was pleased to meet with our partners in the Biden-Harris Administration to talk about how the 60,000 announced Bipartisan Infrastructure Law projects, over $910 billion in private investments in manufacturing and clean energy, and programs like Direct Pay are making a positive impact in Maryland’s Fifth District and across the nation. Meetings like this one further demonstrate the Biden-Harris Administration's commitment to ensuring that these investments continue to bring down costs and create new opportunities across the country."
"President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Congressional Democrats have made monumental investments to grow the economy from the middle-out and bottom-up, investing in American communities across the country," said White House Deputy Chief of Staff Natalie Quillian. "The Investing in America agenda is rebuilding our roads and bridges, delivering clean drinking water, bringing manufacturing back to the United States, creating good-paying jobs and lowering costs for millions of Americans. Convenings like this allow us to continue making progress building a long-term foundation where communities and families will see benefits for decades to come."
Ever since Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries established the RLC in January 2023, the Members have worked tirelessly to deliver on the promise of 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 other laws that Congressional Democrats secured in recent years. The RLC will continue to play a leading role in ensuring that these landmark policies resonate in the lives of the American people for generations to come in every corner of the country.
