WASHINGTON, July 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- No Labels last week launched a $200,000 national cable ad buy imploring House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to move immediately to pass the bipartisan infrastructure plan President Biden recently announced alongside a bipartisan Senate group.

With President Biden vigorously advocating for the agreement, it now falls to Speaker Pelosi and Leader Schumer to delink this bipartisan infrastructure plan from a separate partisan reconciliation bill and to allow Congress to move toward passing a proposal that President Biden says is a "a once-in-a-generation investment to modernize our infrastructure that will create millions of good-paying jobs and position America to compete with the world and win the 21st century."

"This is a moment when the American public—and the media—need to focus on just how risky it is to hold up a bipartisan infrastructure bill, how it could leave the country with nothing and why congressional leaders only have one sensible choice. Take the win. Pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill now," said No Labels Executive Director Margaret White.

The No Labels ad—entitled "Let Them Vote"— is running nationally on Fox News, CNN and MSNBC and across digital platforms.
