Here’s how the lawmakers who represent Centre County in Congress voted Nov. 5-11

Here’s a look at how members of the House who represent the area voted over the previous week. The Senate was in recess.

SURFACE TRANSPORT SPENDING: The House has agreed to the Senate amendment to the Investing in a New Vision for the Environment and Surface Transportation in America Act (HR 3684), sponsored by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., to authorize through fiscal 2026 surface transportation programs, including highways, mass transit and rail, and set out fiscal 2022 spending on those programs. DeFazio called it “a transformative bill that will improve mobility, economic competitiveness and the quality of life in communities across the country.” An opponent, Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., said it “prioritizes Green New Deal mandates above actual transportation needs.” The vote, on Nov. 5, was 228 yeas to 206 nays.

NAYS: Reps. Glenn Thompson, R-Howard Township, and Fred Keller, R-Kreamer
