LOS ANGELES, CA – Yesterday, Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37) and Mayor Karen Bass hosted Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at Exposition Park to celebrate LA Metro’s Removing Barriers and Creating Legacy Project, which recently received $139 million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding. They were also joined by Representatives Maxine Waters (CA-43) and Ted Lieu (CA-36).
Kamlager-Dove was a co-sponsor of the bill, and believes the new-birthed caucus is a more centralized outlet focusing on issues within the fashion industry, with better chances to gain federal-level attention.
