Elissa Slotkin: Real federal dollars for infrastructure on roads and water

REP.-ELECT ELISSA SLOTKIN: Yeah, we have to move on infrastructure and not just talk about it but actually put money behind it. In Michigan we need once in a generation investment in our infrastructure. Our roads but our water. I live 15 minutes from Flint, Michigan. We have a water issue going on in our state. So, that's a place I think we have real bipartisan opportunity. People have talked the talk and now we need to walk the walk with real federal dollars.

Q: There's all these investigations [of Trump]-will they cloud the big picture on substance?

SLOTKIN: If we can't provide for people and help their pocketbook or their kids, we do not deserve their vote. So we can walk and chew gum, right? We can protect American values and hold accountability for the executive branch. But if we can't do things on health care and infrastructure, we're going to lose people. Especially in the Midwest.
