LWVGP Question: Question Given limited resources, what areas of funding are a priority for you and why?

By Tim Murphy

Candidate for US Representative; Pennsylvania Congressional District; District 18

This information is provided by the candidate
It will take $2.2 trillion to repair our crumbling roads, sewer systems and bridges but we simply do not have the funding to meet all these needs. I launched the bipartisan congressional Energy Working Group to end our country's reliance on oil from OPEC. Working together we developed legislation, called the Infrastructure Jobs & Energy Independence Act, to dedicate the new federal revenues from expanded energy production towards critical infrastructure repairs. Our legislation, like no other, has a method to pay for these infrastructure projects without raising taxes or borrowing from China, and it will create 1.2 million jobs annually.
