U.S. Rep. Mike Bost (R-IL), along with nearly 20 House Republicans, published a letter to the incoming Trump Administration pledging their assistance in the development of its "Buy American, Hire American" initiative. Buy American laws provide a preference to domestically-produced goods and services in federal procurement, such as investments in public infrastructure.

"When American taxpayer dollars are being spent, an effort should be made to spend those in support of American workers," said Bost. "As we grow our economy and rehabilitate our nation's infrastructure, more must be done to ensure that Buy American preference laws are applied to these projects."
