Upton Takes Part In Discussion On Civility In Politics

April 7, 2021 The need for civility and cooperation in Washington was stressed by Congressman Fred Upton and colleagues during a virtual discussion hosted by Oakland University Tuesday. Upton tells us he was joined by Representatives Debbie Dingell and Elissa Slotkin to talk about the Problem Solvers Caucus, among other things. “As a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus, it’s in essence one of the underpinnings of what our belief is,” Upton said. “We’re going to take a civility pledge, and we’re going to trust each other that we’re not going to campaign or go after each other if you’re on one side of the aisle or the other.”

Upton Calls For Bipartisan Approach To Infrastructure

Congressman Fred Upton is hoping President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan will get some adjustments to allow for bipartisanship and ultimate approval. Upton tells WSJM News there are real needs when it comes to infrastructure. “Obviously, here in Michigan we need help with our roads and bridges,” Upton said. “That’s a no brainer, but there are other issues that we need to work on too. We as a delegation have been working on getting a new lock built up at the Soo strait, and that work is progressing.” Upton says improvements to the electric grid and more money for broadband are also needed. However, he thinks the infrastructure plan will have to be pared down a bit.
