Jeff Merkley on Technology

Democratic Jr Senator (OR)

 


Invest in public transportation infrastructure

Merkley will fight for investments in our core transportation infrastructure. For every billion dollars invested in infrastructure projects, it is estimated that between 14,000 and 47,000 jobs are created. Merkley will champion programs to invest in loca rail transit infrastructure that help Americans get to and from work and support economic growth along the rail lines. Merkley will support bus rapid transit projects which will help reduce congestion on our highways and will help the flow of commerce.

Secure the grid, according to CC survey.

Merkley supports the Christian Coalition survey question on grid security

The Christian Coalition inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Take Federal Action to Secure the Grid Against Foreign/Terrorist Interference ?' Self-description by Christian Coalition of America: "These guides help give voters a clear understanding of where candidates stand on important pro-family issues" for all Senate and Presidential candidates.
