Today I informed my colleagues in the Democratic Caucus that I intend on running as the Ranking Member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, where I currently serve as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation.

I want T&I to aggressively move forward with #MakeItInAmerica legislation to make sure that when we invest in infrastructure with our tax dollars, were creating good middle class jobs here in America. As I told my colleagues, A demonstrated ability to preserve Democratic ideals while working across the aisle to get things done will be crucial in the next Congress, and particularly in this Committee. With major legislative initiatives on the horizon that include surface transportation, FAA, and Amtrak reauthorization, the Democratic transportation agenda calls for a strong, inclusive, proactive leader who looks beyond divisive dualities to facilitate opportunity, momentum, and results. This is the leadership I aim to bring. You can read the full letter here: bit.ly/tiranking
