CONGRESSWOMAN STACEY PLASKETT NAMED NEW DEMOCRAT COALITION INFRASTRUCTURE TASK FORCE CO-CHAIR

Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett was named Co-Chair of the New Democrat Coalition Infrastructure Task Force. The Congresswoman released the following statement:

“I’m excited to lead the New Democrat Coalition Infrastructure Task Force because this Task Force will continue to identify bipartisan opportunities to improve outcomes for our nation’s infrastructure. The Task Force will also look to increase long-term federal investments in all types of infrastructure and drive investment in our communities and maintaining America’s economic competitiveness,” said Congresswoman Plaskett. “The New Dems have a strong reputation for reaching across the aisle to get things done, and I am ready to work with my Democratic colleagues to find commonsense policy solutions for the biggest challenges facing Americans today.”

“The New Democrats are about finding innovative solutions to complicated issues,” said Congresswoman Suzan DelBene, Vice-Chair for Policy. “The American people have said they want Congress to get things done. With this talented group, we’re committed to finding the best ideas to expand our middle class and create opportunities for hardworking families in this new economy.”

The New Democrat Coalition is made up of over 100 forward-thinking Democrats who are committed to pro-economic growth, pro-innovation, and fiscally responsible policies. New Democrats are a solutions oriented coalition seeking to bridge the gap between left and right by challenging outmoded partisan approaches to governing. New Democrats believe the challenges ahead are too great for Members of Congress to refuse to cooperate purely out of partisanship.
