ARLINGTON, VA – Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is hosting a virtual event with U.S. Senator Mike Braun and AFP President Tim Phillips for a conversation on infrastructure.

AFP recently launched a campaign focused on finding better ways to address infrastructure needs called “End Washington Waste: Stop the Spending Spree.” Lawmakers who want to improve roads and bridges should instead consider the following reforms:
- Overhauling the regulatory and permitting system to modernize infrastructure reviews and reduce project costs
- Eliminating costly and unfair labor restrictions
- Preserving federal infrastructure dollars for targeted construction projects of a national priority and putting an end to the practice of spending gas tax revenues on non-highway projects
- Unleashing private investment in infrastructure assets
- Returning power and responsibility to the states wherever possible.
