WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Inclusive Abundance Action Head of Government and External Affairs Baillee Brown released the following statement on the manager’s amendment to the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026:
“The manager’s amendment answers concerns we have heard from offices while preserving the main benefits of the bill. These are the kind of careful, technical fixes that make a strong bill stronger and give more members a clear path to yes.
“We are grateful to the four lead negotiators for the months of work behind this package and for staying at the table to get these details right. That diligence is why this deal has held together where earlier efforts came up short.
“Earlier this week, voters sent a clear message: they want lower energy costs and accountability for the data centers driving up electricity demand. This bill delivers on both, and the window to pass it closes with this Congress.
“With these changes in hand, there is every reason for the Senate to pass this bill without delay.”
