Every worker deserves to be treated with dignity & respect. That's a lesson I learned as an IBEW apprentice, and it's one that guides me in Congress. To my brothers and sisters in @IBEW, thank you for having me at this year's Convention, and let's keep fighting for the American worker and their families, together.

The myth: Union construction costs taxpayers more. The reality: Union-led projects can be completed faster and with significantly smaller cost increases. governing.com/infrastructure…
