RT @SecretaryPete: For 30 years, the City of Grand Forks has sought to eliminate its 42nd Street rail crossing - alleviating 100+ vehicle-h<U+2026>
RT @SecretaryPete: Here in Grand Forks, ND we're providing $30M to remove the 42nd Street rail crossing - a project 30 years in the making<U+2026>
I am thrilled to welcome @SecretaryPete to Grand Forks tomorrow to announce critical @USDOT rail infrastructure grants for our region. The Biden Administration<U+2019>s investments in ND are making a huge positive impact for our state! https://t.co/nPf5914Vjb
So let me get this straight: $6M to fund school meals for families making up to 200% of federal poverty level is a bridge too far, but $10M for private school vouchers for families making up to 500% of federal poverty is just good public policy? <U+0001F928> https://t.co/ieyqnQ9bTM
Thank you @SecretaryPete for announcing an historic $30M @USDOT investment in rail safety and infrastructure in Grand Forks. This is just one example of the bipartisan accomplishments the Biden-Harris Administration has made to benefit North Dakota communities. https://t.co/3CDMzbugT6
Having to pay extra to sit next to our own children when we fly has been a huge frustration in my own family. I'm grateful to @SecretaryPete and @POTUS for taking a stand against these junk fees! https://t.co/Wj6vzq3fjw
Good news, friends: we both banned books AND cut taxes for oil companies in the House today. That should solve our workforce crisis in no time.
Expanded no-cost school lunches has passed the Legislature! We couldn<U+2019>t have done it without the tireless grassroots coalition of parents, teachers, labor unions, nutrition experts, and many, many more. What a win for ND kids and families! https://t.co/xsLEJddbha
North Dakotans deserve mature, respectful leaders who neither engage in nor silently tolerate this divisive, hateful rhetoric. If you can<U+2019>t stand up to your friends in a group chat, you won<U+2019>t be able to stand up for your constituents in the Legislature. https://t.co/ShqTtBbKCe
