I ran for Congress to help people in Chicago, in Illinois and across the country achieve the American dream.  The Build Back Better Act represents a transformative investment in children, families, workers, businesses, and the planet that will improve health and well-being, advance economic and environmental justice, meaningfully address climate change, and grow our economy while asking the wealthiest and most secure to pay their fair share.  The pandemic has harmed tens of millions of Americans - disproportionately hurting African Americans and other communities of color

(Chicago) — Today, U. S. Representative Danny K. Davis announced $155 million dollars to help Illinois families with energy costs this winter through the Department of Health and Human Services’ Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

While the bill don’t contain everything I wanted, worked for and hoped for, and will keep fighting for, it does contain the highest federal investment in federal transit ever. It does contain the highest federal investment in passenger rail since Amtrak. It provides major investment to improve schools, bridges and highways. Chicago has many of each in need of repair. It provides major money to improve clean drinking water and replace lend pipes. There is also a major focus of Mayor Lightfoot. It also creates good-paying union jobs with more than 2 million expected.
