Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) plans to unveil a measure on Friday that would require American iron and steel products to be used in certain drinking-water projects. She will make the announcement at Neenah Foundry, a Wisconsin manufacturer. “We must rebuild our country’s infrastructure with American labor and American products,” Baldwin is expected to say, according to prepared remarks.

The same language was included in a waterways bill last year, but was stripped from the final version by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). Critics say the language is unfair because it blocks some companies from receiving federal dollars.

“The choice for the Republican establishment in Washington is clear: Do you stand with American manufacturers and workers or do you support spending taxpayer dollars on Chinese and Russian steel for American water infrastructure projects?”
