ICYMI: Rep. Tom Graves Featured in Conservative Solutions Book Alongside GOP Presidential Candidates

Washington, Apr 28 -

Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA-14) was featured along with Republican presidential candidates Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rand Paul (R-KY) in a new book published by the Tea Party Express outlining conservative solutions to our nation’s biggest challenges. Rep. Graves’ piece, entitled “Reform Transportation by Empowering States,” makes the case for the Transportation Empowerment Act (TEA), a solution that would open up America’s transportation system to greater local control, better targeted projects, and a more efficient way to maintain and improve the nation’s infrastructure.

In his piece, Rep. Graves writes: “You see, when conservatives try to stop wasteful spending and cumbersome government programs, it’s not just about debt and balance sheets. It’s about helping people have a better life…The Transportation Empowerment Act is a plan to reform the bankrupt, messy, and unfair federal highway program into an efficient, locally controlled system that improves the quality of life for every driver and commuter in America while reducing gas taxes and increasing spending on highways at home.”

The book is entitled “Tea Party Solutions for America: Congressional Plans for Fiscal Responsibility and Economic Prosperity.” Click HERE to read Rep. Graves’ piece.
