WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05), Chair of the Regional Leadership Council (RLC), released the following statement on the launch of the Biden-Harris Administration’s latest Investing in America Tour to inform the American people about how the investments passed last Congress are creating jobs and economic opportunity nationwide:

"I commend the Biden-Harris Administration for organizing another Investing in America tour to showcase the work Democrats have done – and continue to do – to build on our historic job growth and help the American people get ahead," said Chairman Hoyer. "This tour is part of the White House's ongoing effort to ensure that Americans in every corner of the country see and feel the impact of our transformative Investing in America Agenda. As a partner in that mission, the Regional Leadership Council, created by Leader Jeffries and made up of twelve Members representing twelve regions, remains laser focused on implementing the historic laws that Democrats secured last Congress, including the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, and the Honoring Our PACT Act. Our Council is proud to work alongside the Biden-Harris Administration and Congressional Democrats to ensure every working family in our country has the tools they need to Make It In America.”

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries created the Regional Leadership Council in January 2023 and appointed Congressman Hoyer to serve as Chair. The Council consists of twelve Members who each represent one of the United States' twelve regions. Members of the RLC have met with administration officials and community leaders to discuss how Americans in every corner of the country and in every zip code can access the opportunities created by the historic policies that Democrats secured in the 117th Congress. Since April, the Council has met U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, Everytown for Gun Safety, andU.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.
