WASHINGTON, DC - Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) released the following statement after voting no on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026, S. 5653.
"I believe our country needs smart permitting reform-to build projects faster, support job creation, and get more energy on the grid to lower costs for consumers. But we should not do it at the expense of clean water and community engagement. The American people sent a clear signal on Tuesday, and this bill, as written, is not a reflection of that."
