So happy to join @SenatorLeahy at the White House to celebrate President Biden signing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan into law. This bill brings critical investment to Vermont, a huge day for the Green Mountain State and the culmination of decades of work from Senator Leahy. https://t.co/0Yg5srzDxu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

It’s been an honor to work alongside @SenatorLeahy. Patrick has served Vermont so well for so long, and he will be missed in the Senate. Thank you, Patrick, for all that you’ve done for the Green Mountain State. https://t.co/qFvKFabsFA — PolitiTweet.org

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill includes $100 million for broadband expansion in Vermont. That means more than speedy streaming: it means kids can do their homework, businesses can reach new customers, and doctors can treat patients through telemedicine. This is huge for VT. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Our government has prioritized corporations for too long. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill is different: it puts our communities first, investing in safe roads and bridges, accessible public transport, and access to high-speed internet. I'm glad we got this done for Vermonters. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

I was glad to join @vttech and @NVU_Lyndon yesterday to celebrate this critical federal grant to expand nursing education in the Northeast Kingdom. With this grant, we can train folks here in VT to work in the communities we love. That's good for students and for patients. https://t.co/ggIXJOZl9o — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

On this Veterans’ Day, I’m taking time to reflect on the impact #BurnPits have on our servicemembers. We must ensure that these vets get the care they need to recover from exposure to toxic burning. Let’s #KeepThePromise and pass the Honoring Our PACT Act. https://t.co/HDQwk2UFJk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

On Veterans' Day, we thank our veterans for their service and sacrifice, and we honor them by supporting them and their families long after their service. If you need assistance with veterans’ benefits, please call my office at 802-652-2450. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

The science is clear: no place is immune to the impacts of global warming. For Vermont, the US, and the world, we must act on climate change now. That starts by passing #BuildBackBetter, the most significant climate legislation in US history. https://t.co/B1OnDrMoa1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Vermont wins big in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. How big? ✅$1.6 billion for highways and bridges ✅$100 million+ for broadband ✅$355 million for clean water ✅$21 million for VT's electric vehicle charging network ✅$77 million for public transportation — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Thanks for joining us @BBF_Vermont! Keep up the great work! I'm excited to move forward on passing Build Back Better and investing in our kids through child care, universal pre-K, and paid family leave. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Jake Burton Carpenter started Burton Boards in a barn in Londonderry and became a snowboarding pioneer. His contributions to the Green Mountain State are impressive. I’ll be taking the time to check out Dear Rider and celebrate Jake’s life. https://t.co/yshcftIaL0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

I totally agree @SenSanders -- we've got to put a stop to Big Pharma's price gouging. We can start by passing #BuildBackBetter and capping the price of insulin at $35. But that's just the beginning, we have a lot of work to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Folks have struggled personally and financially under this border closure, and I'm glad that fully vaccinated family members and loved ones can gather again now that the border has reopened. I welcome our Candian friends and neighbors back to Vermont. https://t.co/ehauqSTw9G — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

The House has passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, finally delivering the resources needed to repair America's failing infrastructure and invest in our rural communities. This will help all VT communities. To learn more, visit: https://t.co/UTpqfhPV8V — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

We’re fighting to #BuildBackBetter for our communities and for our planet. This is the biggest investment by Congress to tackle climate change, and it’s time to get it done. https://t.co/V4ep9YYvgw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

For many of us, family is the most important part of our lives, a source of joy when times get tough. To thrive, families need support, not obstacles. That’s why I’m supporting #BuildBackBetter. https://t.co/uPSAXpdlAj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Sometimes the reality of #BuildBackBetter can get lost in the noise out of DC. But let’s be clear: this bill lifts up working families. No matter who you voted for, we’re fighting for good childcare, affordable healthcare, and a safe environment. For all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Pleased to stand alongside @AARPVT to fight for lower drug prices. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Energy efficiency is a win-win-win: it saves consumers money, creates good jobs, and protects our planet. That’s why I joined @RepYvetteClarke to intro The American Energy Efficiency Act and set a national standard for energy savings. To learn more, visit: https://t.co/jfbUJHmFOr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

To be clear: this isn’t enough. But in the face of Big Pharma’s power and deception, we have made significant progress with this deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

This deal breaks the iron grip Big Pharma has over the price of life-saving and life-extending drugs for all Americans. Price negotiation and inflation rebates are a game changer. Reducing the cost of insulin to $35 will save lives. https://t.co/qaR7ocT2wW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

For most Americans, expanding access means lowering the cost of lifesaving drugs. This month, as with every month, I’ll continue to fight for #PriceNegotiationNow and other tools to lower drug prices and keep our communities healthy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

November is American Diabetes Month, a time to reflect on the accessibility of critical drugs like insulin for folks with diabetes and other chronic conditions. We have the tools to manage diabetes, but many folks can't get access to the drugs they need. https://t.co/LXKjRBZoOt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

World leaders have gathered at #COP26 to discuss how we’ll move forward to combat climate change. I'm excited that the U.S. will again lead on the global stage thanks to the Biden administration and the climate policies in #BuildBackBetter. Together, we can shape a green future. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

I'll keep fighting for #PriceNegotiationNow, no matter what. It's what patients, businesses, and our government need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Congratulations to VT’s own Beth Robinson on her appointment to the US Court of Appeals. Beth is an inspiration – a brilliant legal mind, accomplished jurist & the first openly LGBTQ woman to serve on a federal appellate court. A historic day for the country & a proud day for VT. — PolitiTweet.org
