Portman Hails Senate Passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act
WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) issued the following statement after the U.S. Senate voted to approve the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act by a bipartisan vote of 69-30.
At this crucial time, the West must continue to support #Ukraine in its time of need. Congress must do its part to hold Russia accountable and send the unmistakable signal to Putin and the rest of the world that the U.S. stands with #Ukraine.
I am encouraged by the success of the Ukrainian counteroffensive taking place. Aid from the U.S. has greatly assisted Ukraine’s position and has enabled Ukraine’s forces to liberate cities and save civilians from Russian authority.
During my recent visit to #Ukraine, I heard heroic stories of Ukrainian civilians standing up to Russian invaders against overwhelming odds. I also met with Ukrainian leaders to discuss the importance of U.S. assistance and the impact it is having on the battlefield.
Last night, I spoke on the Senate floor for the 26th consecutive session week to discuss Russia’s brutal and unprovoked attack on the people of #Ukraine.
