DENVER — First lady Jill Biden met with Colorado leaders Monday to hear from local lawmakers about needs their districts face, stories from students about how they’ve benefited from state job training programs, and how Colorado has made use of federal legislation.
Biden chose Denver to kick off a tour that will highlight a slew of federal laws championed by President Joe Biden. The four marquee laws — the American Recovery Plan Act, the bipartisan infrastructure law, the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS act — total some $3 trillion in new spending, according to the White House.
Biden is touring the country to tout the “historic” legislation that she said hits needs that include manufacturing jobs, high-speed internet, airport safety and clean water.
