The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Bipartisan Policy Center launched an advertising campaign Thursday to urge Congress to enact an infrastructure plan to “get Americans back to work.”
The “Job One” campaign will include both cable television and digital advertising, though its announcement didn’t specify the exact dollar amount spent on the ads. The Hill reported it was in the six figures.
The campaign points to a Georgetown University study that estimates a $1 trillion investment in infrastructure would create 11 million new jobs in 10 years — and calls for investments in roads, bridges, airports, railroads, rural broadband, clean energy, and water.
“Our leaders in Washington now have a historic opportunity to rebuild our economy, get Americans back to work, and improve the quality for life for everyone,” the ad says, urging a plan focused on “Repairing roads and bridges, investing in airports and rail, expanding rural broadband, and providing cleaner affordable energy, and drinking water systems.”
“President [Joe] Biden and Congress can jump start our economy and bring jobs back,” it adds.
Biden has said he’ll ask Congress next month for an infrastructure package — and his nominee to lead the Department of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, said in prepared remarks for his Senate confirmation hearing that there’s “a lot of work to do to improve infrastructure,” calling it “a mission that will not only keep more people safe, but also grow our economy as we look to the future.”
Buttigieg’s remarks were posted by Axios.
