WATERLOO, IOWA (May 23, 2019) — 2020 presidential candidate Representative Tim Ryan will discuss modernization of America's infrastructure with Waterloo Mayor Quentin Hart, Rep Timi Brown-Powers, and Progressive Policy Institute President Will Marshall.
Date: Friday, May 31, 2019 Location: Van G. Miller Adult Learning Center 120 Jefferson Street, Waterloo, IA 50701 Time: 8:30-9:30AM CDT RSVP to katy@linkstrategies.com
Nothing better illustrates the political-dysfunction in Washington than our leaders’ failure to modernize America’s economic-infrastructure. It’s hard to imagine a more-urgent national priority, since upgrading our transportation, water, energy, and communications-systems is a proven way to spread jobs and prosperity to communities that need them most, boost business and worker-productivity, and lay new foundations for future growth. In 2016, candidates from both parties promised to make major investments in upgrading our increasingly-decrepit and obsolete infrastructure. Despite this rare instance of bipartisan agreement, no progress has been made over the last two years. Now, as we enter the 2020 election cycle, Americans cannot afford to miss another opportunity to vote for leaders who will actually get the job done. To underscore the need for new ideas and action on infrastructure, the Progressive Policy Institute will host a “Decision 2020 Ideas Forum” in Waterloo, Iowa. The conversation will feature Rep and presidential-hopeful Tim Ryan of Ohio, Waterloo Mayor Quentin Hart, and State Rep Timi Brown-Powers. PPI President Will Marshall will moderate the discussion.
