Pete Sessions: Voting Against Community Development Block Grants

Pete Sessions has repeatedly voted to defund Community Development Block Grants (CDBGs), which are critical for infrastructure projects that improve roads, housing, and public services in communities across the country. These grants provide essential funding to local governments to address pressing community needs, from repairing aging infrastructure to supporting affordable housing initiatives. Despite his voting record, Sessions has attempted to take credit for projects that were only made possible by the very programs he worked to undermine.

Defunding CDBGs directly impacts the ability of cities and towns to invest in their future, leaving communities without the resources they need to thrive. Sessions’ actions reveal a troubling pattern: voting to cut critical funding while showing up to ribbon-cutting ceremonies and claiming success. This kind of political doublespeak puts communities at risk and fails to provide the leadership needed to ensure long-term growth and development.

Communities deserve leaders who fight for the resources they need, not ones who undermine progress and then try to take credit for it. It’s time to hold Pete Sessions accountable for his record and demand real investment in the programs that build stronger, more sustainable communities.
