REPRESENTATIVE-ELECT DAN CRENSHAW (R-TX-2): There's multiple points-- opioids, infrastructure issues. Different infrastructure issues around the country--but for us it's flood mitigation. The opioid epidemic is terrible. More people died of opioids last year than the entire Vietnam War.
REPRESENTATIVE-ELECT CHRISSY HOULAHAN (D-PA-6): Yep. I agree. Opioids is an enormous problem in our community as well. And a big infrastructure bill--
Q: Is that number one for you?
HOULAHAN: Absolutely.
CRENSHAW: And another thing I would bring up is workforce training issues. You know there are seven million job openings, which is a great problem to have. But we need middle skill labor to fill those jobs.
HOULAHAN: Yep.
